I started using Mozilla FireFox and am trying to make it do all the things I was doing in IE... in IE to make a shortcut to place on the desktop, all I had to do was right click on the background of the page I am on, and then click the option "create a shortcut" and it would make an icon for that site on my desktop. I do this for some things I want to either remember to check out more closely or for things I use very regularly so I can just click and not have to search in my favorite places to find where I put them!
But I can't find how to do that on FF... I can bookmark pages and then relocate them to appropriate category... but can't make a shortcut to be place on my desktop.. anyone know how?

You might have unchecked the " create desktop icon" option and by default, this will remain checked while installing the browser.If not we need to check that option.You can just uninstall browser from using add/remove programs menu and then install it again and this is going to take less than a minute.

u can actuallt just drag the icon to your desktop, that fixes the problem. U dont have to reintall it to make a shorcut. Although during the installation process youll get the option where u want to place the icon..So just drag it and drop it in your desktop. Mozilla actually works better for mac computers..it works for drag and drop option. good luck!
