Just installed firefox, but there is no icon to click on to start the program. I cannot find it under programs list anywhere.

You can go to the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and create a desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu: Send to Desktop.

Very interesting! I went to that folder but there wasn't a single executable file in it. I suspect that the install program is not completing successfully. I'll delete the files and start over. Thanks
