This is a personal/private system
And I mean that the Linux machine is for one user only. hope you meant this.

About the file name, my mistake, sorry, the name is as in the original post "firefox.desktop".

Thank you for the clarification, now I know what is a *.desktop is.

But still when I am double clicking on it, I'm getting a nice small window saying "Do you want to run"Firefox.desktop", or display its contents?"
and asking me to select between:
1) Run in Terminal
2) Display
3) Cancel
4) Run
Non of the above works (only 'cancel' works of course)

The "firefox.desktop" file attributes are: 0775

Does anyone knows what do I miss here?
