Stop desktop icon from installing after update

Firefox 업데이트
mspone replied

I use Firefox frequently as it is the most useful browser I have. I want to keep a clean desktop and do not have icons on my desktop. Every time Firefox updates, it places an icon on my desktop. I do not want it there and delete it. It is very, very annoying to have to delete every time there is an update. How can I keep that from putting it on my desktop? If the thinking is that if it gets put there, I will use it, that will be what keeps me from using it. If I cannot find a way to stop it, I will remove the program altogether and figure out a way to do the things I currently do with Firefox. Please let me know how to accomplish keeping my desktop clean.

Thank you for the responses. I am using Windows 11 on both my desktop and laptop for work. This happens on both of them. I will look into the different ideas that both of you posted, thank you. I do keep the icons in the taskbar which is the biggest reason why I do not want them on the desktop. I just want it clean. Thanks again, I will reply if I find something that works.
