This is the url for deskcut:

Once you install it, Firefox will let you "create a deskcut", which is a 
shortcut on your desktop.

When I click the Bookmark tab, the white background remains without a trace of the desktop to drag to. I even tried to drag the desktop onto the white background by using the border two-heeaded arrow, but the cursor and its' 'drag' only go as far as the moved border - then changes back to a normal cursor. I can drag the bookmark to one of the upper toolbars, but that's almost the same inconvenience of having it where it is, becaause I would have to call up Firefox before I can get to the toolbar.
