You can drag the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.
You can also use an extension.
- SaveLink: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/savelink/
- Deskcut: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/deskcut/
If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".
