How can I create a shortcut to a Web page on my desktop?

I used to create desktop shortcuts as described in
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/create-desktop-shortcut-website?ESAB=a & As = AAQ

I use Firefox on 64-bit Linux 17.0.1. I note that the operation above does not create a shortcut, but creates instead a copy of the web page on my desktop.

I'm doing something wrong? I turn on an option accidentally?

Thanks in advance for your help
Daniel

You don't mention the distro you use. Archlinux with XFCE, for me I just to right click on the desktop, then click on 'link URL '.

  • How can I create a link to a web page that opens in a NEW window

    I've looked everywhere. I can't figure out how to make my links open in a new page URL. Can anyone help. I use a mac with Dreamweaver MX 2004.

    First of all, make sure that the 'properties' groupbox is visible (Edit > properties). Then, select the linked button or the text in your document. Below in the groupbox to target "_blank" pick properties

    Oh. You mean put a URL on your desktop, directly... No feature as far as I know this. Yet.

  • How can I add an icon to a Web page in my bookmarks bar?

    Most Web pages have the coding for the small square icon in the bookmarks toolbar.
    Some do not.
    How can I add an icon to a Web page that does not have an assigned icon?

    It saves space for icons rather than a description of the page.

    These icons are called the favicons. Unfortunately, there no Firefox builtin feature to customize or change the favicon as the favicon is determined by a line in the HTML code of the site.

    There are many addons for Firefox that improve your browsing experience and allow you to make some customizations to Firefox. You can browse the addons of Firefox here.

    The only addon that I could find was the Favicon Images bookmarks addon, but it seems that there are some restrictions and you are only allowed to choose an icon from the list of the addon, not a custom image.

  • How can I create a shortcut to "change user" on the desktop using rundll32.exe in Vista Home Premium?

    I am trying to create the shortcut to "change user" using rundll32.exewithout to create the shortcut to "lock", only to pass the user. I already know that I have to right click on an empty space on the desktop, press New\Shortcut and type%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,but not after the comma. Type so I can only create the shortcut to "change user" and not the shortcut to 'lock '? (This means that I don't want this: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation, with LockWorkStation after him.)

    Unfortunately, it can be done in your version of Vista (or so they say, hang on a moment.)  I found the article according to that cllaims to do in Vista Basic and Vista Home Premium in addint a file and shows a set of procedures.  As it is a 3rd party file, do so at your own risk. http://www.vistarevisited.com/2008/08/02/create-a-desktop-shortcut-to-switch-users-in-vista/.  NOTE: This is not how you suggested higher, but if it works who cares?

    In case you don't want to consider the solution above, you have refused, here is the procedure (how to do it in other versions of Vista):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/136969-switch-user-desktop-shortcut.html.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    How can I add a shortcut to a file, video or music to my pages. When I try to drag or select the file in the files there is no way to add to the home screen. I try to copy and paste, which does not work. The only options are to be sent by bluetooth, email, drop box, etc.

  • How can I create a shortcut for the recycling bin in my office?

    Original title: Recycle bin shortcut.

    Anyone know how I can create a shortcut for the recycling bin in my office context menu (context menu)?

    Sorry Manu B G, but I think I understand what he wants exactly. This isn't a desktop shortcut but a shortcut context Menu. He wants a right-click on any empty space in the office and click Recycler Bin shortcut in the menu to go to the basket. Any way to do it?

  • How can I create a shortcut to a Tools menu option?

    I use the clone stamp and the Brush tool on a regular basis. Each of these tools provides a Mode: the drop-down list to select from the menu bar.

    The drop-down options menu I used more frequently are lighten and darken. I would like to create shortcuts to lighten and darken, such as Ctrl + Shift + L (Leclerc) and Ctrl + Shift + D (darken).

    The menu in the tools Panel bar does not seem to have a selection list in the keyboard shortcuts dialog box.

    How to create these shortcuts.

    Thank you in advance,

    Jim

    They are already there.  The same shortcuts that affect the layer blending modes when other tools are selected, do exactly the same thing when the brush; Clone, correction, blur, sharpness and Smudge Tools are selected.  (I forgot the gradient tool)

    So, with the move tool or a bounding box selected

    Shift Alt + selected blend modes scrolls down

    Shift Alt - scroll picked up blend modes

    You can go directly to certain modes of mixing with the first letters

    Shift Alt n = Normal

    Shift Alt m = multiply

    Shift s Alt = screen

    Now select the brush, or one of the tools that have blending modes, and the same keys will do the same job for the blending mode of this tool.

  • How can I keep IE8 to change my Web page shortcut icons to the default icon of IE?

    IE8 passes all my Web page icons to the default IE icon

    It looks all right, but I can have a solution by searching through some of the other threads. I reudced the size of my icons on my desktop only slightly and so far, they remained the icon that has been given by the Web page instead of that boring small blue 'e '. Time will tell! Thank you for your interest in my little problem.

  • How can I add an update to a web page with a web application.

    I would like to know how to update a Web page, whenever a web application element has been added or updated in the last.

    I have the {tag_lastupdatedate} tag, but it works only for the web app list or details page.

    I want to be able to add the date and time with respect to when the entire list is refreshed. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Hi DLSAgency,

    There is a module called {module_lastupdated} and it will show the date when the web page, it's been updated, but there is no module that will display when the list of web applications within this page has been updated. It is not this kind of feature in British Colombia.

    See you soon,.
