When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

Of course you can open with firefox. First, Click on Open with tab in right click and choose firefox. From next time, it'll automatically appear in the right click. :) #firefoxsupport

You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.

A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.
