Would like to be able to right click on a page and giving the option to create a shortcut on the desktop like Internet Explorer. I really should not have to resize the page than drag and drop it onto the desktop to create a shortcut. I heard that Mozilla Firefox was a great browser that's why i switch over but now I am thinking twice if I made the correct decision.

Mouse to the icon at the left of the address bar. Hold down the left mouse button on the icon, move it to an empty area on the desktop, then let it go. You can move it if you want.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for shortcut / link creators.

Examples;

Send Tab URLs {web link} Send a list of browser tab URLs to email, Web mail, or the clipboard

deskCut {web link} This extension adds desktop shortcut creation to the context-menu for Windows, Linux and Mac.
