IE allows the placing of links in files and the desktop. Does Firefox also allow that?

I like Firefox but don't want it to be my default browser. When I'm at a web page using Internet Explorer, I frequently create a link to that page and save it on my desktop or in a file on my hard drive. When selected, such a link automatically opens IE before going to the web page. In order to use bookmarks, I must first open Firefox. Can I somehow place links (bookmarks) on my desktop when I use Firefox?

You can drag the site identity button to the desktop and it creates a shortcut for you. You can also drag a bookmark to the desktop and it will create a shortcut.

If you set Firefox as your default browser all your current links will open automatically in Firefox.
