Create a desktop shortcut link when right clicking in Firefox

When I use Internet Explorer and I right click when I am on any website, there is a Create Shortcut option for putting that website onto my desktop.
When I use Firefox and I right click when I am on any website, there is no such option.
I want to know how to insert that option into Firefox for right clicking for myself.

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.

Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

When right clicking on a doc file and choosing create a pdf file....Word 2013 launches and creates problems. We are using Acrobat Pro. Is there a way to turn off this feature in Word 2013?

Is there a way around Word 2013 hijacking Acrobat Pro "create a pdf" process? When right clicking on a doc file and choosing "create a pdf" .......the Acrobat process will beging but then Word 2013 jumps in and creates problems.

That's exactly why it needs to support it... The support means the
application was tested in the supported environment and is known to work
well in it. In unsupported environments you can get all kind of strange
conflicts like the one you're experiencing.

In version 9 is there anyway to put the "Open Link in new Tab" back to where it was when right clicking on a link?

The menu editor addon no longer works with FF v9.0.1, is there another way to change the location of the "Open Link in New Tab" contextual menu item when right clicking on a link?

You can do that with code in userChrome.css.

Hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

First, you are using a version of Firefox that is very old and outdated. Please update to at least Firefox 3.6.27, or more preferably, update to Firefox 10.0.2. There are lots of bug fixes, security improvements, and much improved performance in Firefox 10.
After you do that, try seeing if you are still having a problem. If you are, is this that when you try to select "Open in a new tab" it opens in a new window instead? Or something else?

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
last words - this is the way of losing users.

Create a desktop shortcut to a website without a mouse?

Hi.
i have low vision, so i am searching for an easy way to copy an URL into an internet shortcut to the desctop/or any other folder, without the mouse.
Hopefully something that can make it possible for me to press some hotkeys in firefox, and then go to a location and press ctrl+v and an internet shortcut will be pasted there.
as a reference something like what is described in this linkk, but without the mouse
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website#firefox:win7:fx35
hope somebody have a solution
thanx.

There were already some suggestions to create a short cut, so I left out suggestions.
You would first have to copy the link to the clipboard.
If the link is in the location/address bar then this is easy (Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C).
For a link on the website this can be more difficult and you would have to use the Tab key to set focus to the link and press the button to open the right-click context menu to copy the link that way to the clipboard.
Once the link is on the clipboard it shouldn't be difficult to create a desktop shortcut.
You may have to make a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut if you can't create an internet shortcut and add the link to its target field in the properties.

New Problem creating a desktop shortcut to photoshop 2014 causes the program to break?

After getting fed up of waiting for adobe CC to finally finish buffering I thought I'd create a desktop shortcut to Photoshop (To save time). After doing this I doubled clicked on the shortcut and after 15 minutes of waiting I realized something was wrong double clicking again and watching the task manager I noticed Photoshop appear for half a second under background processes and then disappear entirely. So I then tried to launch Photoshop 2014 from Adobe CC under Installed Apps and this does the exact same thing. Both links to Photoshop now don't work and just sit there.
I would appreciate some help and I am also getting increasingly tired of ongoing problems with the software..........(I still have 30 days well 28 to cancel this subscription and simply buy a disk version of CS6)
Please help!
Or if you cant help how do i get in contact with someone at adobe?

You can't just create a short cut during the installation process. If the shortcut is not there, then it was not done installing. That's why it does not work correctly, it is still lacking an important piece of the puzzle, more commonly known as dll's. (dll is an external app that the main app polls from when needed. This on windows, I do not know what the external apps are called on a mac)
I recommend that you uninstall all of adobe's apps including the manager and if needed use the adobe cleaner to remove portions if the uninstaller fails to do so. Then restart your computer and install again. How long it take to install will depend on the size of the file, the speed of your internet connection, if using wifi, the speed of that connection, the speed of Adobe's server, how much of a load is on Adobe's server.
If you are using wifi, you can remove that bottle neck by using a direct connection with eithernet or other means ex. usb.

Firefox 6. When right clicking a tab no drop-down menu appears. Why do I not have the option to pin, unpin, etc.

I'm using Firefox 6 with all current updates. This is on a desktop pc running Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
At some previous time I was able to pin tabs - I pinned three. Lately I do not have a drop-down menu when right clicking on a pinned or unpinned tab. The feature is just not there.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Touchgraph link browser right click won't work; jre 1.4.2_03 linux

touchgraph link browser right click won't work; jre 1.4.2
Wanted to mention that the touchgraph link browser(java client) client starts correctly in Redhat 9, but i found one problem when trying to edit links. The problem being that I can't open the small popup menu when i right click in linux RedHat 9. left clicking while dragging on a selected link (in edit mode) lets you create a new link both in microsoft windows 95a and in Redhat 9. When i right click in win95a, a small menu appears that allows me to edit a link, but this menu doesn't appear after right clicking a link in edit mode in redhat 9 (which does work with TG link browser in win95).
I tried using a 2 button mouse with 3 button emulation. I also tried to use a 3 button logitech trackball which works with the old logitech c7 setting in Redhat. I also tried to operate the mouse with it's three buttons using the number keypad in linux, which works in other applications under linux. The same problem still happens in trying all of these methods.
I was told that unix and windows use different "select," "extend," and "menu" buttons(in relation to the mouse).
Maybe, microsoft windows is using a different method of interpreting the right mouse button than redhat linux 9. if so, maybe there is a way to do this in linux (really, i have no idea how this could be done, but am open to try).
If there is a solution, i would appreciate knowing how to go about doing it. .
note: I am using Sun's java 1.4.2_04 in windows 95a and I am using Sun's java 1.4.2_03 in Redhat 9. Both are the most current, i just downloaded them recently.
note: touchgraph link browser is an open source java client and applet under the GNU general Public License. I think that the source code was included with the binary. I am using touchgraph link browser v 1.20 . I downloaded from sourceforge.net
in google i found the following:
https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/advanced-java/1999-September/000532.html
note: mara, you helped me before when i was practically installing redhat 9 and i had a problem with the installation and you mentioned that it was a faulty cd-rom drive. with your help, i am enjoying in learning about linux for the past 5 months since your answer helped me install redhat 9 successfully. Thank you very much since my very first question to you.
Answer Hello,
I downloaded the program and, if I think of the right situation, the right-click doesn't bring a menu for me. The thing I noticed is that when I drag a new link and (with left mouse button pressed) press right button it has an effect of 'canceling' the link. That's why I think that right mouse button works correctly. The problem is why the menu does not appear.
I can see two reasons, both causing problems not easy to solve: bug in the program or incompatibility between Windows and Linux java versions. The second one should not happen.. but it doesn't mean it's impossible. A bug in the program should be easier to find, but not by me (with not very big Java experience it'd take me several days).
What I'd do in your place is to mail the program developers (or report a bug). It won't make things worse, but can fix things.
Sorry that I can't help more
Mara

Error message when right-click on desktpp

Hi.
I get a error message in Win 7 64 pro when right clicking on the desktop to get to settings saying:
"Debug Assertation Failed! Program c:\Windows\system32\igfxsrvc.exe File D:\Program Files\Mirosoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\ATLMFC\INCLUDE\atlcorn.h
Expression: 0&& "Release called on a pointer that has already been released" For information on how your program can cause an assertation faileure, see Visual C++ doc. on assserts

Then I click abort and the message goes away and up pops the settings (I've tried clicking both retry and ignore with no luck) . Highly annoying and appeared after I've installed my brand new x1 carbon with latest drivers and bios with Think Vantage System Update. Anyone know how to solve that??

To create a desktop shortcut icon for the application for a jar file

Hi
I have created a jar file for my application. when i double click this jar file, the application opens.
What i want is--
Instead of user clicking on the jar file, my application also has to create a desktop shortcut icon.
If the user clicks on the icon which is on the desktop the application should open.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

>
Please suggest me.>Launch the application using java webstart. A webstart launch offers things like a splash screen, automatic updates, and desktop integration in the form of desktop shortcuts and program menu items. If the launch file specifies icons, they are used for the shortcuts, otherwise a generic icon is used.
For a comparison between a sandboxed webstart launch and a plain app., try the [Text Width Checker|http://pscode.org/twc/].
While the TWC can run OK within the security sandbox, many applications need to be digitally signed and request extended permissions, to do what they need to do.
STBC is an all-permissions webstart launch.
Edit 1:
And for one that definitely suggests desktop shortcuts (I usually avoid them, in favor of a menu item only), try the sandboxed [demo of the PrintService|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#prs], which prompts the user to choose.

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
