Right click on the desktop and selected "Create New--->Link to Application" and then configured it to start Firefox. In doing so I gave it the name "Run Firefox" which is how it appears on the desktop. I also adjusted the properties to have the FF icon displayed. I started FF using this desktop file several times. I then right-clicked on the icon, picked "Rename" and changed it to just "Firefox". After that I clicked it again and Firefox started without incident. -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
