You can set a shortcut for a website by going to your desktop, right-clicking in an empty space thereof, and and pointing to New -%26gt; Shortcut. You'll asked to enter the shortcut or browse. Just type the web address there and click next, name it, and click Finish. Now, to get it to start in Firefox, you'll have to set Firefox as your default browser. This can be done in numerous ways.

1. Open up Firefox, click on "Tools" (at the top), go to "Options," click on the "Main" tab, and on the bottom you'll see a checkbox asking whether you want to check if it's primary browser on open. Click "Check now." If it says it's not, make it.

2. Go to "Start," -%26gt; "Default Programs." In the Browser section, selet Firefox.

Hope that works!
