I have downloaded FireFox but I don't want it to be my default browser. The Firefox icon doesn't show on my desktop.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.


Locate the Firefox.exe program. Right click and select Create Shortcut. Move the shortcut to the desktop.

While a program is running, go to the task bar. Right click and select Pin Program To Taskbar.
