How can I put shortcuts to websites on my desktop when using Firefox? IE lets me do this via a right click on the address in the Favourites page, but Firefox won't let me do the same with bookmarks. Is there an easy way to put a shortcut on the desktop screen?

On a mac you can just drag them (click and hold on the image before the URL) onto the desktop.

Same with a pc..

Just drag it from the Bookmarks menu in Firefox to your Desktop.

You used to be able to drag a tab anywhere outside FF to create a shortcut. But that stopped working recently (in FF3?), so you need an add-on to make it work. Search for "bug489729"

i have FF3, and don't have that addon, and it works by dragging it onto the desktop – just tried and tested.

Yup, just tried dragging and it works perfectly in the latest version of FF, whatever version that may be. Thanks all.

3.5.5 – all works fine here with no add-on.
