http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/sitemap Icon is replace with a generic type icon when moving the link from the bookmark list to desktop. Vermon

You can try to toggle the Boolean pref browser.shell.shortcutFavicons on the about:config page.

thank you but I am a simple user of PCs .

  I just would like to keep the icon from any specific site I visit when I move it into bookmarks and then move it to my desktop for a quick access later....... 
  For example:      https://particuliers.societegenerale.fr/    

I would like to keep the red and black symbol/icon that appears on the upper left corner of this site, and also in the bookmarks when I bookmark this site. But when I move the bookmark (as an Internet link to click on) to my desktop this icon changes to a Mozilla icon.

 I tried to use your suggestion and I do not think that this is a solution I can use for my particular problem  Vernon

I think that if you move the bookmark to your desktop you will need to create a ico file because the shortcut in desktop is a shortcut to firefox and firefox understand that shortcut is a link to a site

Did you try to toggle the browser.shell.shortcutFavicons pref that I mentioned in my above reply?

You can open the about:config page via the location bar.

Let me give a comparison....

1. With Internet Explorer I go to the following site. https://particuliers.societegenerale.fr/

2. I add this site to my favorites lists.

3. I open my favorite list and I see next to the link an Icon from the site (red and black flag)

4. I drag this entry to the desktop, or into a folder on the desktop, and the red and black SocGen icon stays with the link and does not change to a Firefox icon.

5. I'd like to do that with Mozilla if I can Vernon
