When I place an internet link on the desktop using Firefox 3.6.13 the link (.ico) icon is replaced with the Firefox (.ico) icon instead. 

 IE transfers this icon to the desktop with the link text.

Can someone fix this?

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.

You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.
