Yes, UFW can be configured with GUFW (graphical Uncomplicated FireWall).
Jeslin has the app, but it is not launching the from app menu. It seems it launches from terminal and it probably would launch from alt+F2
Which is why I am checking the Desktop Entry above.

I took a picture from my VM, you should see
Menu Editor
as an option.

Let's fix that.
We have established that GUFW works because it does from terminal.
So...
Elevate to root:
sudo -i
Launch naughtylus
nautilus
Or thunar if you are preferring that (I would...)
thunar
Navigate to /usr/share/applications/
Right click open area and select create new document. Name it gufw.desktop
Open it and paste in the following:
Version=1.0
Name=Firewall Configuration
Keywords=gufw;security;firewall;network;
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;Security;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;X-GNOME-SystemSettings;X-Unity-Settings-Panel;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;X-XFCE-SystemSettings;
Exec=gufw
Icon=gufw
Terminal=false
Type=Application
X-GNOME-Settings-Panel=gufw
X-Unity-Settings-Panel=gufw
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gufw
Save the file, then reboot computer and test launching gufw (firewall configuration) from the app menu.

@Jeslin Are you using the default? If you're not, that would explain why you don't have it.

No, it wouldn't. The application itself is not dependent on the Desktop Environment. GUFW is run across a large variety of Distos and Desktop Environments.

It's he. I'm a boy but people think that I am a girl because of my name (only if they don't see me).

Were you talking about the file called gufw.desktop when you asked me to navigate to usr/share/application/Firewall Configuration ?
Yes. On my computer, it shows the File Name, not the extension. Yours must be displaying differently.
Actually... Let me test. I will open it in Thunar and see what it shows.
YUP
Thunar displays it as gufw.desktop. Nautilus and Nemo display it as Firewall Configuration.
Ok, well... it is there... can you check the contents as above?
Ignore the rename in other languages part...

All good, there.
You also said that another app was previously not launching... Is that app now launching properly?
I think it was gparted.
Both of those apps Require Admin Permission to open and run.
Hmmm...
I wonder if it is your policykit?
Do you have Synaptic installed?
