I use a Windows 8.1 operating system. Not the RT version or a new version; just the standard version of Windows 8.1. I have an app for Mozilla Firefox on my start screen, and one pinned to my task bar. I deleted the shortcut to Firefox from the desktop, and deleted it from the hard drive, but now I wish I hadn't I can't find an operating system option to create another shortcut, and I can't find the same or similar option on Firefox. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, I have Win 7, so can only generalize, but I would enter Firefox into the PCs search box, then right click > Send To Desktop.

Hope that may help.
