    Resolved [RESOLVED] Firefox shortcuts

    How do I create a Firefox desktop shortcut for a specific web site? I seemed so easy... but I'm at a loss.

    Create a regular shortcut for Firefox but append the url on to the end. For example:
    Code:
    "D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.google.com
    However, if your default broswer is Firefox, then a regular .url link should do it.
