If your husband is using windows 11, try:

press windows+d to gain focus on the desktop,
press control+enter,
press f until JAWS announces Firefox,
press the application key,
down arrow to and press enter on create a shorcut,
you'll get a message asking if you want to put the shortcut on the
desktop, press enter on the yes button.
vwa la!

Hi Mario.

I finally tried to follow your instructions to create a shortcut, but,
when I go to search on my husband’s PC and type firefox, it doesn’t come
up and say “firefox app” like it does on mine, and yours.  And, when I
hit enter, it opens Firefox, which is too far along in the process.
And, if I find it in the apps list, the only option is “pin to start”,
which isn’t what we want.

Any ideas?

Tracy
