This may be a bit far out, but I use my own system of shortcuts rather than what FF supplies. I use the Win XP desktop icons to make internet shortcuts. These are easy to copy to thumbdrives for use on other computers, and I am a lot more confident in them being there than a shortcut system which might change on me when I update the FF version.

Then I get pictures of whoever for each website, copy them to Jpegs, and convert them to icons using the Windows Paint program, but saving them as .bmp and renaming them to .ico. Finish off by using an Icon program on them to make icons. I have icons I can click on to check the weather radar, many other things.
