Saving .url shortcuts to desktop with website icon

Hi!

Usually when I save (drag & drop) an url from firefox to my win10 computer, the shortcut get's saved automatically with the website logo as icon.

But after formatting my PC and reinstalling it doesn't do that anymore. Now it saves as a blank paper icon.

I would love to have that feature back =(

Never knew whot that works. I assumed it's a firefox feature, cause other browsers don't do that for me, but maybe it's a Windows thing?
