FireFox URL To Desktop Shortcut
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am using an Apple Mac Mini OS is 10.13.6. My default browser is Firefox 65.0.1. I also have the Opera browser installed in the Applications folder.
When ever I drag a URL to the Desktop the Icon shows as a white Icon with a red "O". When I right click on the Icon and go to Get Information the URL has .WEBLOC and the Change is greyed out. I am aware that the .WEBLOC is the result of Safari being installed and integrated into the OS by Apple, but why am I not getting a Firefox Icon (which is the default)
on the Desktop instead of the Opera Icon?
I have checked & confirmed that Firefox is set as the default browser in both the OS System Preferences as well as in FF Preferences.

I think you should ask this question in apple.stackexchange.com as this question is more about why OSX works or doesn't work in a certain way. Also, Firefox is a web browser, not a web app. If you need a quick and dirty workaround you could always use Applescript until you have a solution. macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=21304.
