Normally applications that I install just automagically show up in the start menu. But when I downloaded the latest version of the Icecat browser https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ (v 60.3.0, Nov 2018) from GNU mirror site, I could get it to work by clicking on the Icecat icon in the extracted files (see attached image).
The problem is that I could not get Icecat to show up on my start menu or application list anywhere. How can I make it be recognized by start menu? I now have the browser, but no easy way to launch it besides going into ~/Downloads/icecat/ and clicking on the icecat icon.
Even if I right-click on a .html file in my home directory to open it with a browser, Icecat is not listed as one of the options to open it with.
What is the best way for me to solve this problem, do you think? I realize that this is something to do with the way the Icecat software is set up, and not the fault of Linux Lite, but I was wondering if there was a way for me to somehow add it to the start menu under Internet?

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
