When using InternetExplorer, I would right click on a web page and then left click on "create desktop icon?'. Doesn't do that anymore. How can I do that with Mozilla?

Cor-el, Seemed simple at first but: I went to the site of your link and tried to download. Clicked on download, install, restart. Did this three times and checked my download arrow to see that nothing new had downloaded. Thanks for your help.

gnittala, This worked like a charm. Mucho Gracias. Now, can you tell me how to get my auto fill to work. With my last browser it would take over when I hit the first keystroke on a form. My profile is filled out but not translating to forms.

gnitalla, To begin, the form doesn't fill when I start to type. I found that I can click on the pencil icon and then down-arrow. But when I do that I have to: Name-enter, Address-enter, State-enter, Zip-enter. You get the idea. It's about the same as having to type it out anyway, practically. Thanks, Jake
