When downloading comes a compressed file, by default a shortcut will not be created as it is just an extraction.
Creating the icon
For the shortcut to be created follow the steps below.
- First extract the file into an easily accessible folder, in my case I like to put third-party programs in the
/opt
folder
sudo tar -jxvf firefox-94.0b9.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
- Create a shortcut to make the program easier to run;
sudo ln -sf /opt/firefox-developer/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-developer
- Open the text editor and paste the code below
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox Developer
GenericName=Firefox Developer Edition
Exec=/opt/firefox-developer/firefox
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/firefox-developer/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;X-Developer;
Comment=Firefox Developer Edition Web Browser.
- Save the file with the name of firefox-developer.desktop
- Now open the terminal and enter the commands below.
sudo chmod +x firefox-developer.desktopsudo mv firefox-developer.desktop /usr/share/applications
- (optional) steps 3,4 and 5 summarized in one command.
