    I downloaded and thought I installed Firefox 1.0 correctly. Anyway, I
    unzipped the tarball and ran the installer with no problem. It installed the
    firefox-installer into my home directory. I click on the "Firefox" icon
    (the icon looks like a piece of paper instead of the regular Firefox
    icon)and the "Run or Display" window appears. I have to choose "Run" in
    order to launch Firefox. I would just like to have the icon on my desktop
    and be able to click it but i can't seem to make it happen. Any help would
    be appreciated. I'm running 9.1 pro. Thanks as always
