Computer error running firefox.desktop file
Hi,

I installed the FF3 on my new Debian, and part of the installation guidance is to save a file named firefox.desktop on the desktop, which should act like a shortcut to the FF. The file content is:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Mozilla Firefox Browser
Comment=lightweight browser based on mozilla
Exec=firefox
Icon=firefox.png
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Base;X-Red-Hat-Base-Only;
I have done all of this.

My questions are:
1) what kind of file is this? is it a script?
2) do I have to change the file mode attributes before running it?
