One click link from Windows taskbar to Gmail using Firefox shortcut

It seems a pity that Gmail is not an App on Windows and that one has to browse to open a gmail account..

I would like to set up a Gmail Tab that uses a firefox shortcut to access my gmail account but I am struggling with the shortcut path to do this. I have a standard Windows 11 set up
