how to add programs to menu Quick Launch

[Henerey8]

I mean the bottom left (on a fresh install of 6) panel where the icons for Chrome, terminal rtc are showing. Then when running a program it shows up to the right as a longer icon-like graphic. Coming from Windows I'm used to calling this the Task Bar, then being able to "pin" or unpin programs there. I'd like to pin Firefox and unpin Chrome. BTW another tweak I'd like is to have a click on a running program in this panel bring it forward to front. Mine doesn't.
