    Firefox Desktop Shortcut Icons


    I wasn't sure what forum to post this in. I'm using Win 10 64 and Firefox 63.0.3. If I make a shortcut from Firefox to a website on the desktop (using drag-and-drop), the icon for the site will show up really small inside of a white box with the "shortcut" arrow. All of my other icons are fine, it's just the Firefox icons that are screwed up. I'm not sure if this is a compatibility problem or what. Is there something I can do to fix this ? TIA

    :)

  2. Desktop Shortcut Icons

    Hi Mik-Dav,

    The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

    If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

    • Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
    • Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
    • Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

    The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.

    I tried using Edge that comes with the computer and I can see the logo you are talking about. When I try to drag it to the desktop you can see that I have it but as soon as I drop it the window opens rather than putting the shortcut icon on the desktop.
