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 at the bottom right 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 a shortcut with a different label, first bookmark that page, than open the main Menu and select Bookmarks. Do a long tap on the bookmark to open its menu, select Edit, change the Name, and tap SAVE. Finally open again the bookmark's menu and choose Add Page Shortcut.
