Create a desktop shortcut to a website

You can use Firefox to create a shortcut on your computer's desktop to a page you've visited:

  1. Resize the Firefox window so you can see both your computer's desktop and the Firefox window on the same screen.
  2. Click the padlock icon on the left of the address bar (where the URL is shown).
  3. While still holding the mouse button down, move the pointer to the desktop, then release the mouse button. The shortcut will be created.
