[SOLVED] Can't move an icon for Firefox to the desktop

[Kansasman]

Using Linux Mint on both a laptop, and a PC (both dual booted with XP)

I simply want to put an icon on the desktop, for Firefox. When I drag and drop the icon from "Menu" to the desktop, it won't let me, and displays the following Message:

Error while moving "firefox.desktop"
There was an error moving the file into /home/ht/Desktop

I have googled it:

ubuntuforums dot org/archive/index.php/t-791584.html

and found an answer regarding files, but I don't know the name of the file to move (and I still don't navigate well among files --newb
Something about permissions‪

TIA

SOLVED, and very easy, and credit goes to someone else, answer below.


I had the exact same problem, but I solved it by removing Firefox from my favourites and then using the search filter in the start menu, I click-and-dragged the Firefox icon to the desktop.

I'm not sure if you can have it both on the desktop and your favourites.
[EDIT] Just tried it, you have to add Firefox to your favourites after getting it on the desktop.
