Firefox not listed in all applications or internet (Cinnamon) [Solved]
Hi guys,
I have been googling for this for a while now and haven't hit on the correct keywords I guess.
I have setup a basic system with Arch/Cinnamon.
Installed firefox (pacman -S firefox) and can launch it from a terminal but the icon is not in the "start menu"; all other applications seem to have added their icons to the menu correctly (Midori for instance did).
I prefer just to use 'win key'-> start of program name -> enter; to launch programs so it would be most helpful for firefox to be in that menu

Have you rebooted?
Sometimes newly installed .desktop files don't appear in the menu until after a reboot.

Yes slithery that was all that was needed. I wonder why that is required for "some" as you put it and not others.
Thank you for your help.
