Object Dock Plus

Linking websites with Mozilla Firefox Browser

Friday, December 2, 2005 by badblueboy | Discussion: Docks

Let's assume that I have OD plus icons on the top/side or which ever position on my desktop and I want link some icons with Mozilla Firefox browser to open certain websites. Can anybody advise how to do this? Basically if I link some websites with IE it's not a problem beacuse IE is a standard browser.
But how can I link the websites with OD+ icons to be opened with the Mozilla Firefox??
Thanks for help!

Make a normal firefox shortcut in the dock.

Rightclick & select "Dock Entry Properties..."

Put your URL in the 'Arguments' box.

Hi Bob,

thanks for your answer. I'm afraid I was missunderstood. I have already a short cut with mozilla firefox icon and so I can open the Mozilla Browser. What I want is to open any other website across mozilla browser.
You know what I mean?

Have you tried to create a bookmark and save it to your desktop and then drag it to the dock?

As mentioned in post #1, open the properties of the dock icon. You will have the Mozilla browser in the "link". Copy and paste the website you want in the "argument" section.

Uhm. I hit the "print screen" key, opened my graphics program (PSP BUT ANY WILL DO), clicked on "edit" then "paste". Cropped it to a smaller size, did my text and arrows, saved it as a Jpeg. Went here http://www.imageshack.us/ browsed for my new Jpeg, Clicked on "host it", copied the "direct link", came back to this thread, hit the "image" button above where you write your post, pasted the "direct link in the box, clicked "OK" and "submit".

Seems like a lot but after you do it a time or two, it just takes a couple minutes to do all of the above.
