Since the last system update for my mobile phone all shortcuts to websites in Firefox have disappeared. Also I can't add new shortcuts. Add to home in other browsers like Vivaldi is working fine.

Hi, thanks for your answer. I did it exactly as in your guide, but it didn't work.

This evening I updated the Firefox to 89.1.1. And now it works fine.
