High there just finished Arch/Cinnamon install and I can figure where some of my programs are going. I've installed firefox via pacman but cant locate it in the menu, or search. I have to lauch it from the terminal.
Any help would be great thanks!

Re: Missing programs?
As this isn't about Linux Mint, moved the topic to chat forum. Probably the Arch Linux forums are a better place to ask about problems with Arch Linux.
Cinnamon is XDG compatible, so you shouldn't need to do anything special for new launchers to show up in the menu. Confirm the package you installed also put a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications (command: pacman -Ql packagename | grep \.desktop). Depending on how fast your computer is, it may take up to a minute or so before a newly installed launcher shows up in the menu. Generally it should be visible immediately unless you are running on something very slow.
