21.10 comes with Firefox. It is preinstalled as snap, but you can remove that and use `apt` to install the deb version. – pLumo Feb 21 '22 at 09:50

3Does this answer your question? [Creating a .desktop file for a new application](https://askubuntu.com/questions/281293/creating-a-desktop-file-for-a-new-application). By the way, you can simply install latest firefox with `sudo apt install firefox`. It comes with the launch icon. – Archisman Panigrahi Feb 21 '22 at 12:36

The easiest way will be to install menulibre to create your own menu entry. Ubuntu does not by default come with a tool for creating menu entries.
The manual way involves creating a .desktop launcher file in .local/share/applications. You can create a file from scratch, or copy and adapt an existing one.
