'Tell me how to stop the installation of unwanted shortcuts .' I was on the computer and I discovered a new shortcut had been placed on my Foxfire browser opening page. I did not place it there so I opened it up. It took over my computer. A supposed "Apple Security Alert" came up wanting me to call a number. It cautioned me about trying to shut down or restart. 

I checked with Apple to discover that no such warning was issued.  The alert said not to try to restart my Mac mini as lost files and data could result and harm to my computer.  I took a chance and unplugged my computer, turned it back on and selected my profile not the "guest" opening.  I enter my password, it started up, I opened Foxfire browser and the thing locked up again.  I went through the process again but this time before opening further I selected a restart.  Went finished I was able to open Firefox and found the shortcut that was the guily party.  It was Titled - clownfish-app-nx84d with a URL https://clownfish-app-nx84d with what appeared a million ofter letters to long to get.  I went to the browser settings to play with the shortcut functions but to no avail.  Surely there is some way to only allow for personally programed  shortcuts and no auto placement by the browser.  Email me at eugenebowden01@gmail.com if someone has an answer.

That can't happen without the user input here. Also what sites your going and clicking on links can also do this as well. So just by itself Firefox doesn't place shortcuts on your Browser.
