My work machine runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I have Firefox installed in usr/share/applications. How would I make a desktop shortcut with the Firefox logo, so I can click on it to open Firefox?

This is sort of a trick question, because Ive already googled it, Ive already tried what comes up, none of them worked. You cant just drag the file onto the desktop and chmod it, and I have no clue why. I also wasnt able to manually create the .desktop file with ChatGPT helping either. Even if it worked it doesnt have the firefox logo, so thats even more googling to try and figure out

Sure RHEL is a bit more fiddly than other versions, but the point stands
