When I installed FF 3.6.22, the FF icon down in the lower left tray disappeared, (I did not notice this), and one on the desktop appeared. I hate icons on the desktop, so I deleted the shortcut, and then noticed the icon was gone from the left side of the system tray,next to the start oblong. How do I get the icon/shortcut for FF 3.6.22 back to the right place?

And no, I do not want to switch to v6.

I deleted the empty link within the 'Start' Menu, then I opened 'Program Files' , then 'Mozilla Firefox', then I right clicked 'Firefox' executable file', sent it to the Desktop, then Left-Click Dragged it to the Taskbar, and success.
