Trying to add a page link on my Android desktop. Used to be able by highlighting the URL and choosing to add desktop link. Not there in mozilla 89.1.1

Solved it myself. It's now in the menu as "Add to Home Screen"

Hi Gene

If you open the Firefox for Android menu and select "Add to home screen", a shortcut to the page will be added to the home screen of your Android device.

As I said in my post, that used to work, yes. With the current version of Firefox for Android the only choices are Copy, Paste, and Paste & Go. No joy there. If Mozilla moved it somewhere else, I'd like to know.

Hi Gene

To clarify - you do not need to select the address, just open the menu (three dots on the toolbar) and select Add to home screen.

I hope that this helps.
