Hi, you appear to be using Win10, so if that is the same as the one in question, open the Start Menu and scroll through until you see Mozilla Firefox (you can also start Firefox from there); now drag the icon to your Desktop - doing that will not remove it from the Start Menu.

If you want it on the Taskbar; with Firefox running, right click the Taskbar icon > Pin to Taskbar.

If you are referring to Win7, go to Start Menu > All Programs, then right click on Mozilla Firefox > Send to Desktop.

In the unlikely event that you have uninstalled Firefox, you can download it from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
