add Firefox to menu
 

Basic Slackware 10.1 installation using KDE.

Installed Firefox and can run it by clicking on firefox in the firefox-installed directory. How can I add this to the menu or create a shortcut on the desktop.

Also, I downloaded Thunderbird, but I do not see an installer, like Firefox. What is the procedure to install.

Thanks

What about using a Slackware package http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=5827 ?

Or if you are using KDE - right click on the desktop, select Create New and then Link to Application.

Thanks,

I used the link to application, and put an icon on the desktop. Any advice on installing Thunderbird

Re: add Firefox to menu
 

If you're using the official build from Mozilla.org, just extract the tarball into /usr/lib/thunderbird, and, optionally, create a symbolic link to /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird in /usr/bin .

Alternatively, use a package, which should do everything for you.

Thanks for the help,

I have Firefox and Thunderbird installed with icons for both on the desktop.

if you'd like to add the shortcuts to firefox and thunderbird to your kmenu, an easy way is to: right-click on your taskbar, configure, then open the menus tab (I think), and then "edit kmenu".

Thanks,

I'll do that next.

On the K menu go to

Settings --> Menu Editor

you can add/remove/reorder programs in the menu.
