I want to make shortcuts to my desktop

I want to make shortcuts to my desktop for certain websites that I use all the time. In Explorer, I just right clicked and sent a shortcut.

However, Firefox instructs me to click on the "world" symbol to the left of the website address to make the shortcut. This does not work because I do not not have a "world" symbol next to the web address. I either have a padlock or a binoculars (well it looks like binoculars) symbol and so I am unable to do what Firefox suggests.

This is driving me crazy and is one of the things (as well as the bookmark system) that I don't like about Firefox.

Is there someone who can please tell me how to do it? 

Thank you.

Also, if you do this often, there is an add-on for sending a shortcut to Windows without having to drag it manually. I haven't tried it myself:

The icon to the left of the address usually is one of the following:

  • Secure sites
    • Green padlock and name of site owner
    • Gray padlock
    • Gray exclamation-point-warning-triangle
  • Regular sites
    • Gray globe

Even if you see something else there, if it shows a little box with a "More Information" when you click it, that is what you need to drag.
