Firefox question
 

This is probably a dumb question, but I haven't used firefox very long, and the fact that I can't figure this out drives me nuts.

I am big on saving stuff to my desktop to deal with later via right clicking and creating a shortcut.

I can't figure out how to do that in FF.

Is it possible?

You want to change the download location to your desktop so it saved files to your desktop or am I missing something? Just want to make sure

Sorry for the lack of clarity. No, not downloads. Like if I want to create a shortcut to a web page and keep it on my desktop. So that I just click that, and go to the URL.

I don't like bookmarks, and that is what I always did in IE.

..............

ohh.. in that case, I'm not sure since I've never done that

just drag the icon to the left of the url in FF to your desktop....

well shit.. I didn't know that LOL

I don't think you can do that in firefox. The simplest solution to something like that would be to create a dir on your desktop that links to your firefox bookmarks file.

Then create a toolbar folder in firefox for your current session or however you like to do it.

When you are ready to visit those links, just click the folder/file on your desktop that you exported.

Hope this helps

That works, Ben, and thank you for it. :)

The problem I am going to run into with that is when I have 10 windows open between the page I want to save, and my desktop.

But that certainly works better than nothing, which is what I've had so far! :)

That might be a workable solution. I can work with things in folders better than I can a long string of bookmarks. I bookmark stuff that I am keeping permanently. I save crap to my desktop that looks interesting and I want to check out later, but I can't devote to doing it right then.

If that makes sense. :1orglaugh

Thanks muchly! :thumbsup

also, might also work if you just keep a directory open on your start bar, or add one to your quick launch that points to your desktop, and drag your bookmarks there

holding down alt while clicking a link will save the HTML file to desktop
