I followed these steps, without success. Whatever can I be doing wrong?
I power up and log on. --- My Welcome screen (where I entered my password) turns to a pale blue with some wispy clouds.
I right click a spot on the screen. – I see a pop-up menu and select Shortcut.
I click the resulting Browse button and select Mozilla Firefox.
I click Finish.
I expect to see a Firefox icon on my screen. But it does not appear!
What am I doing wrong? Thanks. ... batpark

You are slightly wrong. Open explorer and locate the firefox executable > right click > select send to > select desktop

Essexboy: Thanks. I feel like a fool but .... I followed your instructions trying to put a shortcut icon to a text file on the desktop without success.
I located the file in File Explorer, right-clicked it, selected Send to and then Desktop. I then closed File explorer.
But no icon appeared on the desktop.
Can you spot my error? ... batpark

Right click the desktop and select view
Does it look like this ?

The sun broke through!
I right-clicked the desk top, clicked View and then Show desktop icons -- and all my icons popped up. As simple as that. Thanks for your help and patience. ... batpark
