You may get lucky and someone answers, but you are using a Ubuntu build of Firefox and having problems with the Kubuntu desktop.
Probably it is best asking on a Kubuntu related forum how to add a laubncher for Firefox to your Desktop.
I note KDE has a variety of possible launchers and a quicklaunch widget

Yes, Firefox is not much good if you can not launch it !
I use Ubuntu not kubuntu so I will not have the same Desktop environment as you & do not use muon. A quick web search indicates that it should install a launcher and possibly reinstalling would resolve the issue.
I found these
- Clicking on a link opens the Muon package manager to install firefox (I'm not able to launch firefox except when loading it by command line. ...)
