Explorer shows icons/logos for descktop shortcuts to websites. All Firefox shortcuts show the Firefox logo. How do I correct this. Enough to make me return to explorer.

Firefox

Simple question. How do I change the setting on Firefox so when I drag a web address to my desktop, it shows the site's logo/icon? And how do I change all the existing shortcuts to reflect the logo/icons for those websites?

Thanks!

You can drag the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.
If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".
