Creating an Internet Shortcut to the desktop just like Internet Explorer.
Hi!
I am running FF24 and would like to create a shortcut of a website to the desktop just like Internet Explorer. I have read a solution that has me resizing FF and feel that it is clumsy and unproductive.
Does anyone know of an Add-On to this great feature in IE? Not only for Windows XP but for 7 & 8, as well.
Surprised that the smarties at Mozilla did not put any thought into this.
TIA :)

Fixed it.... under XP.

But it will not work in Windows 7, 64 bit.
Is there another up-to-date Add-On for that OS?
Thanks :)

I guess since an add-on has existed for this since 2004, no one felt it was urgent to build it into the product...
Hi jscher2000,
Thanks for your timely response!
I installed and configured it, double checked settings, but it does not create anything on the desktop in XP. Very strange.
Any suggestions welcome.
Cheers,
Compumind :)

Not sure why it can't set the path on Windows 7. Do you get an error message? Can you manually set the path using the symbolic shortcut:
%userprofile%\Desktop
