Learn how to easily make a shortcut on your desktop that will open Firefox and take you to a favorite website.

You can use Firefox to create a shortcut on your computer's desktop to a page you've visited: # Resize the Firefox window so you can see both your computer's desktop and the Firefox window on the same screen. # Click the icon on the left of the [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar|Location bar]], i.e. where the web address (UR<!---->L) is shown. # While still holding the mouse button down, move the pointer to the desktop, then release the mouse button. The shortcut will be created. #:;<br>[[Image:Website Shortcut]] You can also drag and drop items to the desktop from the Bookmarks menu and the Library window to create shortcuts. If you open the shortcut you made, your '''default browser''' will open, and display the page for which you made the shortcut.
