Creating an Internet Shortcut to the desktop just like Internet Explorer.

Hi!
I am running FF24 and would like to create a shortcut of a website to the desktop just like Internet Explorer. I have read a solution that has me resizing FF and feel that it is clumsy and unproductive.
Does anyone know of an Add-On to this great feature in IE?
Not only for Windows XP but for 7 & 8, as well.
Surprised that the smarties at Mozilla did not put any thought into this.
TIA :)

Hi jscher2000,
Thanks for your timely response!
I installed and configured it, double checked settings, but it does not create anything on the desktop in XP. Very strange.
Any suggestions welcome.
Cheers,
Compumind :)

    What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
    It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
    You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
    After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
    Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
    Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
    Set it for All Applications
    Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
    Make Upper Case
    Make Lower Case
    Capitalize
    Give them a shortcut.

  • How do I CREATE A SHORTCUT ON THE DESKTOP?

    New to the Apple family. Always have been a PC person. Just got fed up..  Would like to find out how to cut and paste with the mouse and also my main question is not knowing how to set up a shortcut on the Desktop for faster internet access to certain specified sites.... Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. I signed up for one on one training.... I hope it wasn't a waste of money.
    Make it a great week,

    Hi there
    This post may be under the wrong section, if you are a new Mac user, then you most likely have an Intel based Mac, not a PPC. And also, you may want to not write IN CAPS as it usually indicates yelling in a forum environment
    1. You cannot Cut & Paste on a Mac, you may Copy & Paste, if you want to Cut & Paste (CMD + X) you can download MoveAddict from the Mac App Store.
    2. EDIT: Sorry, I thought you meant Application shortcut - do what he said \/ \/ \/
    Hope that helps

  • If Firefox is not the default browser is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" right click option for internet icons on the desktop??

    When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

    You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.
    A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.

    -
    Make absolutely certain that FireFox is designated as your default browser.
    Do this: Tools / Options / Advanced / Check Now / correct the setting
    OR right click on any shortcut icon / Open With / Choose Default Program / select desired Browser / check Always... box / OK

  • How do you add a shortcut to the desktop with ios5?

    Thanks to Itunes helpfully corrupting my Ipad backup and crashing the upgrade to ios5.1 (or whatever) this morning, I've had to completely rebuild my ipad from scratch.  Thanks, I didn't have anything better to do today than try to get all my apps and things set up the way I like again!  And, I didn't have any important data or anything... what the ****, if an update can wipe the ipad AND corrupt the backup, there is a serious problem with this whole thing!
    Anyway, does anyone know how to get a bookmark to a webpage on the desktop?  It used to be that you could click the little "plus" button and just select to put the shortcut on the desktop, but you can't do that anymore, and none of my searches have come up with anything that isn't referring to pre-ios5 versions of safari on the ipad...
    Thanks!

    It is totally weird that you no longer have that feature in the Safari app. Have you tried the basics, restart, reset, quit the app, clear Safari.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit Safarai and restart - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    I have seen some of the most bizarre, off the wall, mysterious issues on my iPad since I updated that it has me totally mystified in many ways. Very, very disappointing to say the least.

  • Creating a Network Straight from the Desktop (No Router)

    I have created a network straight from the desktop without a router with no protection/security key. It's on channel 11 (automatic). My internet on the desktop is working and when I connect to the network wirelessly with a PC, it connects & obtains the IP address without any issues. When I open my browser on the laptop, page cannot be displayed. I'm using Windows XP on a brand new laptop. Why can't this be simple?

  • How to change the icon for a shortcut on the desktop

    I created a shortcut on the Desktop (dragging a safari url-icon to the desktop) but the icon showing is a safari icon.
    The website has a specific icon, as displayed as the first item (icon) on the url bar in front of the website-URL.
    I located the specific icon on the website (favicon.ico), opened it and copied the icon (copy paste).
    Then I opened the properties screen for my shortcut (at the Desktop) (control click on link) .
    Now I am supposed to copy the new icon (from my Clipboard)  into the properties of the Desktop URL, but how do I do that?

    You can change the favicon for a folder but not  a specific Safari url.
    Click a clear space on your desktop then go to the Finder menu and click File > New Folder
    Move Safari url shortcuts to that folder.
    Then copy and paste the icon for the folder.

  • How do I always show a Firefox icon when dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop?

    Win 7 Pro 64
    When dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop, I sometimes get the websites favicon regardless if the site has a favicon or not.
    How do I always show a Firefox icon when dragging a URL shortcut to the desktop?
    Thank you

    LIke many others, I had the same problem with v.26. I had a whole slew of URL shortcuts that the icons went to blank white squares. Here is what I did to fix: First I put them all in a folder to make sure there weren't any left on the desktop.
    Next, I opened that folder, went to the first shortcut and double clicked it to open the web page. When it opened, I used the mouse to drag the URL onto the desktop creating a new shortcut. Again the white square icon resulted.
    So I right clicked the shortcut, clicked on "Properties" and under the "Web Document" tab, clicked "Change Icon". A new pop-up window opens that attempts to find a new icon in the windows shell files.
    I instead clicked "Browse" and inserted the directory path to the Firefox program file:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    SIX icons were shown, the top left being the familiar white square with the Firefox logo, which I selected, then clicked my way back out on the "OK" buttons.
    NOW, I opened each URL link in the folder, and once opened in a new browser window, dragged the URL's to the desktop and NOW Firefox assigned each one the new correct icon automatically. Once done with all the shortcuts, I deleted the old ones from the folder and the folder itself. End of problem. Now when I save new shortcuts by dragging URL's to the desktop it saves them correctly.

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    Anyone?

  • Is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

    is there (or can I create) a keyboard shortcut for the command "export"?

    Keyboard Shortcuts are created in the System Preferences app, Hardware section, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
    Select Application Shortcuts on the left.
    Click the "+" sign on the right and in the dialog box that pops up, enter: "Export..." and your preferred key combination. Here's an example:
    Keep in mind that when you enter the name of the action in a layered menu, such as File > Export..., or Share > Export..., you are only going to enter the last menu choice, not the higher levels.

  • When I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

    when I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

    I got the problem solved. It was pretty simple but new to me. I had evidently inadvertently switched the setting in the "View" tab on the dropdown menu so that all of my desktop folders were populated by all folders/documents residing on the desktop.
    The solution was to open one of the folders, then go to the "View" tab and change the setting to "List." Presto, now all the folders include only the contents I had intentionally loaded into them.
