21.10 comes with Firefox. It is preinstalled as snap, but you can remove that and use apt to install the deb version. — pLumo, Feb 21 '22 at 09:50
Does this answer your question? Creating a .desktop file for a new application. By the way, you can simply install latest firefox with sudo apt install firefox. It comes with the launch icon. — Archisman Panigrahi, Feb 21 '22 at 12:36

The easiest way will be to install menulibre to create your own menu entry. Ubuntu does not by default come with a tool for creating menu entries.

The manual way involves creating a .desktop launcher file in .local/share/applications. You can create a file from scratch, or copy and adapt an existing one.
