I got Gmail started via Firefox searching. I then used the Bookmark 
Firefox file and installed it there while it was the current application. 
Now I just click on Gmail in the Firefox Bookmark file.

If this is not helpful, it is because I just stumble around, not knowing 
what I'm doing. Now I'm trying to create a shortcut icon to start and run 
Gmail.
