hi ollieric, you can drag and drop bookmarks & history entries from firefox onto the desktop to create a shortcut to the site there.

My desktop has all my favourites displayed when I start my computer. How can I do the same with a bookmark? With Internet Explorer I could right click on my favourite and click on "send to my desktop". How can I drag a bookmark to the desktop when the desktop is not opened?
