I created a desktop shortcut to my 'My Ebay' page by right clicking on the desktop, selecting 'Create New' and 'Link to Location(URL). Everything seems fine but it opens with Konqueror. When I click on the icon's properties, and go to the desktop config file, there is an 'Application Preference Order', so I clicked 'Add' and selected Firefox. But this did not work and it still opens up in Konqueror. What do I need to do to make Firefox open web shortcuts on my desktop? I searched the archives but came up empty. Also, Firefox is set as my default browser.
Make your desktop shortcut a command firefox http://www.whereiwanttogo.com. I have to specify the full path to firefox, but it works.
Not sure I follow you, but I tried to put firefox in front of the web address like you said and it didn't work. I also used the full path to firefox as well to no avail. I tried to drag and drop the web address from firefox to the desktop and that doesn't work like windoze either. It puts a text or config file there instead.
