In IE I could go to File > Send> Desktop. A link to the page was sent to my desktop. This was very useful for a web-page I wanted to visit often or for use in the near future. I didn't have to remember where in my favorites or history the page was saved.

All I can see on the Firefox File menu is send link using email. Can't quite figure out how to send an email to my Desktop.

See Create a desktop shortcut to a website.

There are also add-ons that can assist with this, such as deskCut and Create Shortcut.
