On my desktop there is a pictogram to open firefox in Google.nl. I like to make a second pictogram to open firefox in another startpage. Is this possible? I can open firefox with several tab blades, but i actually don't want it this way.

Can you help me?

One option is to save a shortcut to the page. If you resize the Firefox window so you can see your desktop, you can create a shortcut by dragging the favicon (the site icon or blank icon to the left of the address) to the desktop. If Firefox is your default browser, then double-clicking the shortcut will load the page in Firefox.

You also can set up a second Firefox program icon with a custom startup line, but that is more complicated.

You can make a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL on the Target line (right-click > Properties / Eigenschappen) after the path to the Firefox program with a space to separate them. 

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://ww.google.com

Such a desktop shortcut will always open Firefox, even if another browser is set as the default browser.
