I had to uninstall and reinstall firefox-mozilla-build (from the Ubuntuzilla repository) to correct an issue. Once this process was completed, I noticed the Firefox entry is now *not* on the TDE Internet menu.
I am using the 14.0.11pre packages and was wondering if that could be why?
Thanks in advance.

More info:
I also have LXQt installed (used this image to install Debian) and Firefox *is* on that Internet menu.
The command line was used to uninstall (apt remove) and reinstall the package, instead of Synaptic.
Hello Edward,
I don't know what the issue might be (possibly an updated .desktop file with Firefox?). Try running kappfinder (?) , it should re-add the missing shortcut.

Hello Phillippe,
Kappfinder found it - sans Firefox icon and added it to the top of the Internet menu where Chromium (snap package) is listed. The desktop entry for it, copied over from the other desktop, but TDE displayed an old Firefox icon instead, in which I found the new icon in /opt/firefox.
Thanks again.

As someone who uses an entirely customized KMenu (and who still hopes oneday to learn how to get rid of whatever generates those three show-stopper-until clicked pop ups at the start of TDE), I have found useful, and I think others might as well, a pretty straightforward way of adding menu items: open a terminal and type the name of the program you want to run. If it starts, great. If it doesn't, then the find command will almost surely let you know where it is, which discovery you can test from the terminal prompt, fully qualified because it wasn't in your PATH. Open KMenu, right click on the place you want the application to appear, select "Edit menu" and click "New Item." Fill in the blanks, with "Command" of course being what you used at the prompt to get the thing to start. Give it a Name -- its real name is always in good taste -- and leave the Description blank, because that's what KMenu lists in the menu (in case anyone is moving to TDE directly from their PlaySkool "My First Computer"). From your "find" explorations you know where the icon is. Click on the blank icon, fill the "Other icons" hole, navigate to where the .ico file is, and choose it. Click save.
It's not as cool as having the installation program do it for you automagically, but it's a skill you'll find useful sooner or later. (For example, I have a fondness for old DOS word processors, run in dosbox. They're in KMenu because I was able to cook up a command that starts them. Oh, for the equivalent OS/2 WPS emulator!) -- dep

What are these popups?

Did you run /opt/trinity/bin/r14-xdg-update as root? If not, try it.

The interesting part of the result:
Some Trinity profile R14 XDG compliance updates failed. Check applications-tdemenuedit.menu for '<Filename>kde-' in /var/tmp/tdecache-dep/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt. The r14-xdg-update script did not complete successfully.
The script will run with each login until all issues are corrected (usually one more time is enough).
Please contact an administrator or take appropriate admininstrative action should the problems persist for more than three reboot attempts.
The error code is 9.
Common failures include file and directory permissions.
(The only real effect that I can find is that Konqueror now no longer shows files, and if I click on the home directory icon it throws an error box: "Protocol not supported file" and if I run Krusader I get a series of error boxen, finishing with one that says mime types aren't installed.)
So. -- dep

The solution to this is documented, as you said, in at least two threads on this mailing list. You simply can delete or change the reported lines in the respective config file. Please search the archives to see how it is done if you want to get rid of the pop up messages.
As a starting point maybe this thread (r14-xdg-update script error when TDM is starting TDE, 30.3.2020): http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::16852

$ apt-file search kde-noatun.desktop
does not show any results here, so most likely this/these file(s) were manually added. So search for the file "kde-noatun.desktop" (systemwide and for your local user), delete it (or move it somewhere safe)and run r14-xdg-update again.
