How can I make the icons I place on my desktop from web pages not have the Firefox icon. I want the program's icon.
When I slide the icon, with web address, over to the desktop I want the shortcut icon to be the Web site's icon not the Firefox flaming globe.
Thanks, Steve

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut 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".
When I saved it it didn't show up as an icon. When I went back to save it with the extension .ico that didn't work either.
Any other ideas.
That is an animated GIF image (18 frames) and probably can't be set as a shortcut icon for that reason.
