Hi
I am on linux 19 cinamon edition.
I was having trouble using the installed version of thunderbird , when i installed the linux mint.
Hence, i downloaded the latest version 60.0
I have purged the previously installed thunderbird, before installing the new one.
however , while the setup went smooth, the only issue is - there was no launcher hence have to run thunderbird\thunderbird command in the terminal.
Everything is working very well.
How can i create a launcher , with icon- please help
