If you're using KDE, use the menu editor which will be under "preferences" or "settings".

You haven't given very much information. How did you delete the older mozilla? What distribution are you using? What file is needed?

You are the master of the short answer!

Did you get rid of your icon? I guess if you're going to reinstall mozilla anyway, we can forget about it.

"add/remove application" is in some sort of graphical tool, I take it?
Read up on rpm (man rpm) or the online rpm book.
You can find a lot of the files you need at the rpm repository.

Yeah, but so what? You want to reinstall mozilla anyway.

What file does it say it needs? Did you try to look for it at the rpm repository or at your distros web site?
