I would like to know how do you create a shortcut for a webpage for your desktop?

For Windows 7 -- copy startup icon to desktop

1. WinKey + D (to show desktop)
2. WinKey (Start) > All Programs
3. Ctrl+drag "Mozilla Firefox" icon to desktop, the tooltip must say "Copy to Desktop" (not Move), and that should create shortcut
4. WinKey + D (to redisplay windows)

You can modify the properties of your desktop shortcut as shown in ...

I think you are actually looking to create shortcuts to websites not Firefox. Just shrink the browser page a bit and drag the icon from the URL Bar to the desktop.

There is also a DeskCut extension you could look up. A right click on the web page offers you a desktop short cut. It may not be updated yet.

how do you create a shortcut for a webpage for your desktop?:

Drag the favicon at the left side of the location bar to the desktop

Reference: (you can also do from bookmarks)
