Windows 10: Saving URLs

Hi! I'm a long time User. I've had this question for a long time, also.

Using both Chrome and Edge, I can drag/drop the title to the desktop or a folder without a problem; however, sometimes the title is prefixed with a parenthetic 2-digit number.

So, my question is why/what fore is this prefix?

Thank you,

Keith

How to save Url's Favourites in Microsoft Edge?

Thank you for your reply. But you only explain the basics of saving a URL into My Favourites. I am familiar with this procedure and I used it successfully until I merged the Favourites from Chrome and Internet Explorer with Edge's own favourites at Microsoft's
suggestion (a box appeared after the log in). I presume you are familiar with this.

So I am looking now for the way to return to the previous situation when Edge had its own Favourites and I could save URL's into My Favourites at will. It's worth mentioning that within Chrome and Internet Explorer adding of URL's to Favourites works normally.

Kind Regards
