How can I get a Gmail icon on my desktop that will directly open my inbox

I'd like to be able to click on one shortcut icon like I do with Outlook rather than opening Firefox each time.

You need to keep in mind that Gmail works differently than how Outlook works. Gmail is web mail that is accessed through a web browser, where Outlook is a locally installed email program that communicates directly with an email server.
