OK Patrick,
my is not really a problem...I can run frefox both both from command line both using Gnome.
Other time yet I understood "by chance", after some time, how to do better something that was not what I really would like it
thank you
Angelo

I understand your idea: this can 'be just an alternative -More "COMPLEX than to use a link- to get the same result.
Not necessarily. A script can do more than a link because it can set up environment variables before calling the target program.
However even before writing the script, I did an experiment
the file /usr/bin/firefox exists and has execute permission: [angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/firefox -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 6995 Nov 2 2015 /usr/bin/firefox
*but is is not run :* [angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ sudo /usr/bin/firefox [sudo] password for angelo_dev: Error: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox not found /usr/lib/firefox/firefox not found
Why do you need to call firefox using sudo? I presume the errors are caused by sudo's environment not being what Firefox needs. However I still don't understand what your problem actually is so maybe I should just shut up. As I said before I don't use Gnome, so creating a desktop shortcut for that environment is outside my comfort zone. All I meant to say is that if your target binary is for some reason in the wrong place, you can get round it using a script. That's all.
