Make desktop shortcuts have icon next to URL rather than default system icon

I'm new to OSX and just bought my first Mac. First thing I did was install Firefox. What I'm trying to do is setup shortcuts on my desktop for my favorite websites. When I drag and drop the URLs from Firefox to my OSX 10.6 desktop, they all get this funny looking at sign on a spring icon, rather than using the icon which shows up next to the URL in Firefox. Is there a way to put a website shortcut on your desktop and have it use that icon, rather than the odd default one its using now? If I use my old PC and IE, it automatically does this when I perform the same drag and drop action.

I cannot find my Favorites that had with Internet Explore. How do I find them, and how do I put them on my desktop like they were with Explore?
