In bushfire season, we use the CFA emergency site all the time, and it would be nice to have a shortcut to their page on the desktop for quick access when I don't have the browser open

Open the browser to that web page. After the page is loaded, mouse to the address bar. Hold down the right button on the icon, and drop it on the desktop. Once done, move it where you want it to be.

Correction===Hold Down The Left Button=

Which Icon? Ihave tried the little globe to the left of the URL without success - this used to work before I installed the latest Firefox.
