You had a choice when you installed the product to determine if you wanted a shortcut. You can change that by reinstalling and selecting a new choice. If you want a button to help you make up your mind, ask for one in the appropriate place. There are 700+ ideas on the feedback forum. Did you put yours there? https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas If not, you can't expect the software to be "friendly", whatever that means to you, because you have not even asked anyone for what you think is needed. This is a support forum and is not a source of ideas for new features. Although I do go to the ideas forums and point out to many of them that the "feature" they ask for already exists. Back in the 1990s Microsoft noted that some 80% of new features requested for Word were already in the product. Much the same goes for Thunderbird now. Just to be clear, you appear to be lumping Thunderbird and Firefox into a single development group. That is not even close. The two companies, Mozilla Co and Mzla Co are not related except by their ownership by the Mozilla foundation (a US not for profit) The members of the Mzla board are largely Mozilla foundation employees. But the two companies do not share income streams nor operate under any form of common management. Both share the foundations support site, but as neither actually offer paid employee support this peer forum is all that is available.
