It just disappeared and I would like in on my launchpad. it has been there for a long time but it just recently disappeared. I went to applications and tried to drag it, no luck. I even right click on it to see if it'll say add to launchpad...nope...help please. I use it to go back when I finish looking at a file that takes me off it.

Thanks, Roberta Harns

  2. Click on Firefox and Drag the icon to the doc (Do not let go of click until )
