How to I create a link to a web page?

August 31, 2008 2:18:31 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I thought this would be easy to do, but I can't figure it out.  I just want a little docklet that, when clicked, opens up a specific url in firefox.  Can anybody clear this up for me?  I know there was a wincustomize.com link when I installed, but I removed it and can't get it back to check how url's are entered.
Thanks!

OK, create a new shortcut, and in the path, type the website address. You can even change the icon.

Here's how:
First, right click and add a shortcut.


Then fill in the URL:



Thus, no docklet required

Ahhh, thanks!! Now, is there anyway of preventing it from opening a new firefox window if firefox is already running?

On my box, it automatically opens in a new tab, so I don't know why it opens a new window in your case.
In Firefox, go to Tools> Options > Tabs and see if under "New pages should be opened in" you've selected new tab...

Like this:


If it still doesn't work, something needs to be changed in Firefox, I guess
