Bookmark shortcut on desktop?

Is it possible to create a bookmark shortcut on the desktop that you can easily access a website quickly? If it is possilbe to create one, how do I do it. Thank you in advance for your help.

The BlackBerry is not able to do this on its own, but there is an application called BlackBerry Web Shortcuts that can.

How do I create a functional bookmark shortcut on my Linux Zorin 6.0 desktop using Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1?

I am a VERY recent transferee from Windows-XP SP-3 using IE-8 to Linux Zorin 6.0 using Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1. The Linux program Emulation, using GnoMenu 2.9, is similar to Windows-7. The transferrence of my Bookmarks (Favorites) from Windows system to the Linux system was successful. However, I seem to have lost the capablility of opening/viewing my Bookmarks from the desktop. I must now have to open Mozilla Firefox browser in order to open/view my Bookmarks.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Since I am VERY new to Linux OS, the advice should be test-proven (Beta tested), accurate, and fail-safe.

Why should you wish to open the bookmarks from the Desktop without opening Firefox ?
Note that Firefox will import and export HTML bookmark files, but does not natively use HTML bookmarks. The bookmarks along with the history are in a SQL database ''places.sqlite'' and backups are .json files .
The bookmarks library can be searched and sorted, and may include tags keywords and a visit count.
If what you are trying to do is have individual desktop shortcuts to individual webpages that should be easy to do. On Windows or Ubuntu the icon from the firefox URL bar will dragon & drop to the desktop and create a shortcut.
If you wish a shortcut to the library try
* chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
That will work from the address bar to open the library as a tab, or if used as a part of a desktop shortcut it used to will open the Library directly in Firefox, have not tried it recently.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Is it possible to import bookmarks from your desktop to your mobile device

I would like to copy the bookmarks on my desktop to my galaxy s4

I had a similar problem and tried Sync. It didn't help much. So I experimented.
This works pc to phone, I don't know the other direction.
1. On your desktop computer save all your bookmarks as an HTML file.
2. Open the HTML file in any editor that supports links (even MS Word).
3. Scroll through and delete everything you don't want.
4. If you want to add text do so.
5. Save the result as an HTML file.
6. Use whatever method you have to move or copy the file to your phone.
7. Select the file and choose to open with Firefox.
Now all your links are available, sectioned off as you desire, can be activated as links, and then saved as regular bookmarks if you wish.
A moderate pain in the butt, but that's what we get when we expect a small minimalist slab of metal to act like a BIG computer.

Where is the link to send a shortcut to desktop?

IE has it under files, then send, then shortcut to desktop.
Thanks :)

You can drag the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.
You can also use an extension.
* SaveLink: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14019/
* Deskcut: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/66
If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone. Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer. What am I doing wrong?

I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone. Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer. What am I doing wrong?

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

Website shortcuts on desktop blank icons

Updated from version 36.x to 37, drag URL to desktop and get a blank page "icon" instead of usual shortcut with faveicon for the site. Fresh install of Version 37 does not, and never does, create
shortcutCache folder in user profile.
Problem verified on 4 separate PCs. 2 PCs using Kaspersky, 1 using Avast, 1 using Avira, so not AV related. 2 have Chrome, 2 have no Chrome, so not conflict related.
Pref file is set to default in browser.shell.shortcutFaveicons, true.
Very, very frustrating.

Is there a bug report number or link in Bugzilla? Totally clean install of today's release on a VM that's totally OOB state produces blank page shortcuts on desktop. That's really bad, should be high priority

Automatic Shortcut on Desktop

Hi All,
I am making a swing application i want that when my applicatio.zip
file extracted an automatic shortcut at desktop gets created whose target is pointed to my application.bat file.
Please Help,
Thanks

well using a zip file, you cant force a shortcut to be installed. You have to use an installer instead, or a self extracting zip file. From there, simply make the shortcut be installed to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop directory... assuming this app is for Windows XP

Drop action for droping a shortcut to desktop

Hello,
I want to drop a shortcut to desktop from a GUI component.
In Transferable class getTransferData method DataFlavor passed on drop action is application/x-java-serialized-object; class=java.lang.String.
In DragSourceListener impl class dragEnter method parameter shows Copy and Move action can be used (DragSourceDragEvent.getDropAction()).
Cursor stays as crossed circle so dropping not available.
Anybody know how to do it?

It would not make sense to have a desk-top short-cut to a tree within a browser (for example), though it might make sense to have a short-cut for the browser itself, or any individual document the browser deals with.

I would like to put bookmarks (shortcuts) on my desktop as I can with IE

Windows 7, Firefox 5.0.1. Windows does a good job of managing shortcuts for programs, files, folders, and web links (shortcuts) made by IE.
Why not Firefox? Am I missing something?

You can drag the tab or the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.
If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".
