How do I pin a bookmarked page to the Firefox icon on the taskbar?

I used to be able to pin web pages to the Firefox icon on my taskbar (Windows 10). Then, I could just right click on the Firefox icon and those web pages would show up making it easy to open them by clicking on any one of them. With my current Firefox I can no longer pin web pages to the Firefox icon.

I also used to be able to rename the pinned web pages instead of just having the IP address show up. But I can't rename the few pinned web pages that remain.

so, can I still pin a web page to the Firefox icon on the taskbar (at the bottom of the page) and can I rename the pinned web page to something more descriptive than the IP address?

I can drag a bookmarked page from one of my folders on top of the Nightly icon and it'll be pinned.

You must rename the bookmark BEFORE pinning into your Firefox icon otherwise you won't get the descriptive title you want your pinned bookmark to display.

Thanks, Moses. Dragging the bookmarked page to the Firefox icon does pin it there. However, even if I rename it BEFORE pinning it to the Firefox icon it still ends up with different and unrecognizable names that I can't seem to change no matter when or how I rename them.
