Desktop link to URL using Firefox

External Since: May 23, 2006 Posts: 1

Firefox is my default browser. If I drag a URL to my desktop, when I
click on it later Firefox opens with that URL, but I also get a Windows
error message, saying that Windows can't find the file, make sure I've
typed it correctly, etc. How to I put an end to the error messages?

Thanks!
