Hi, it should do!

Go to Start Menu > All Programs, then right click on Mozilla Firefox, Send to Desktop > Create Shortcut. (That might not be the exact wording because I'm using Win10 which is different).

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

No. Only sends shortcut to Firefox, not to website.

Are you talking about the Firefox logo and not the website Favicon image appearing for the desktop shortcut?

If so, Microsoft does that with any 3rd party browser. Only IE is allowed to place the website image with the desktop shortcut automatically. Although the user can save the image them self and then Change icon thru Properties for that shortcut. A lot of work, IMO, for little "value".
