Last night I downloaded and installed Firefox onto a new Windows 7 laptop. I didn't specify 64-bit so I presume it is the 32 bit version. Everything seemed to go well and it launched after install just fine. The problem is after I closed it. Firefox just disappeared. I can't find it to open it again. Not easily anyway.

During the install I chose these options:
Install to c:\Applications\Firefox
Do not create a desktop icon
Place an icon on the quick launch bar

There isn't an icon on the quick launch bar and I can't find it in start -> programs. I can find the .exe using windows explorer. The right mouse button doesn't appear to be working so I haven't been able to create a shortcut from that.

All that to ask this. Did I do something wrong during the install? I have been watching posts here that implied I shouldn't install into c:\program files because, IIRC, only the administrator would be able to run them. That's why the c:\applications path. Am I imagining things?
