Is it possible to place a shortcut on the desktop???

During the install, it asked whether I wanted a desktop shortcut.

If you didn't, you can create one.

WinXP -- Open Explorer.
Find Firefox under the Program Files.
Locate and click once on Firefox.exe to hilight it.

Hold the ALT key and use the mouse pointer to pull the icon to your desktop. Afterward, you can slowly double click the new desktop icon to rename it or remove the .exe.

To Rename a Shortcut, Right-Click then "Rename" and set your Shortcut's DeskTop Name; in my case -- FF

Simple and easier than "slow double click" !       :^)
