When you install Firefox, there will be a shortcut in Firefox. Just right click on it, then select Pin to start. Firefox will automatically pin in the live tile screen.

I have it installed. It is pinned to the lock screen bar. Where do I find this shortcut you are talking about? Do I need to uninstall and start over? Thank you
