How to add a shortcut to a website on Android

Firefox lets you create shortcuts on your Android's home screen so you can quickly access your favorite websites. It eliminates the need to type a web address every time you want to access the site - just tap on its shortcut to open the page.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Open Firefox for Android and go to your favorite web page.
  2. Press the Menu button (either below the screen on some devices or in the upper right of the browser) , then tap on Page.
  3. Tap Add Page Shortcut.
  4. Your shortcut should now appear on your home screen.
Tip: If you want to change the label on your shortcut, bookmark that page first, then change its title on the Edit Bookmark window. On the Bookmarks panel, do a long tap on that site and choose Add Page Shortcut.
