The command can be: firefox yourwebsite.com But, if you want to do it manually, this line in the desktop file is Name=Firefox Exec=firefox %u And if you want to write a script... the script to do this would be : #!/bin/bash WEBSITE=torios.org NAME="ToriOS" ICON=www-browser echo -e "[Desktop Entry]\n Encoding=UTF-8\n Exec=firefox ${WEBSITE}\n Icon=${ICON}\n Terminal=false\n Type=Application\n Categories=Network;\n Name=${NAME}\n" >> ~/Desktop/$NAME.desktop chmod a+rx ~/Desktop/$NAME.desktop so if you save it as mysite.bash (make it executable) and then ./mysite.bash I really have been enjoying bash, so you don't have to do it this way, I just like the terminal. It is easy to do through the GUI anyhow :) On 09/30/2014 08:38 AM, Pierre Gobin wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:542AB246.6010504@pierregobin.fr" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="Content-Type"> Hi, It can be done with a custom .desktop file.
