I am very new to Ubuntu. Basically, the only way I can open firefox is by using the terminal and typing ~/firefox/firefox. I can't find firefox when I search for it. All I want is to have firefox icon on my desktop so I don't have to use the terminal every time.

please use this method to install software in ubuntu and avoid downloading and extracting software from external sites!

using the software center will guarantee that not just the operating system, but the whole system (with installed applications) will be up to date. - and by the way you can be sure that every application from the software center is checked, tested and won't harm your system...

concerning your "problem": after using the software center, the desired software will appear automatically in your menu...! ;-)
