Hi Mike, Thanks for this question, because I didn't know how to do this myself until your question influenced me to research it, and it's something I've wanted to know for a long while, although I was always putting it off. This will improve my quality of life while working with bookmarks immensely. Smile
In Firefox, press Insert-B to bypass Window-Eyes, and then press Control-Shift-B to bring up the Firefox Bookmarks Library. This is a somewhat confusing two-pane window, but the simplest approach is to arrow down to Bookmarks menu, and press Enter. Now, the current pane will contain all your bookmarks. Just select the one you want to place on the desktop and press Control-C to copy it to the clipboard. Now, go to the desktop, highlight one of the icons, and press Control-spacebar to unselect it. Now, press the Applications key to pop up the context menu, arrow down to Paste shortcut, press Enter, and, presto, the bookmark is pasted to your desktop. I hope this helps, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Mike Rogers [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 9:30 AM To: GW-Info Subject: Desktop Shortcut and Firefox I can't figure how to put a shortcut from a site, using Firefox to my desktop. It' easy enough with I. E. but haven't a clue with Firefosx. Help is appreciated. Mike If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
