I want to make shortcuts to my desktop
I want to make shortcuts to my desktop for certain websites that I use all the time. In Explorer, I just right clicked and sent a shortcut.
However, Firefox instructs me to click on the "world" symbol to the left of the website address to make the shortcut. This does not work because I do not not have a "world" symbol next to the web address. I either have a padlock or a binoculars (well it looks like binoculars) symbol and so I am unable to do what Firefox suggests.
This is driving me crazy and is one of the things (as well as the bookmark system) that I don't like about Firefox.
Is there someone who can please tell me how to do it?
Thank you.

Also, if you do this often, there is an add-on for sending a shortcut to Windows without having to drag it manually. I haven't tried it myself:
- Its page on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/deskcut/
- A review describing an extra setup step if it's not working (the extension was last updated in 2011): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/deskcut/reviews/490684/

The icon to the left of the address usually is one of the following:
- Secure sites
- Green padlock and name of site owner
- Gray padlock
- Gray exclamation-point-warning-triangle
- Regular sites
- Gray globe
Even if you see something else there, if it shows a little box with a "More Information" when you click it, that is what you need to drag.
