If Webmail opens in Internet Explorer, I can put a shortcut to it on the desktop, but I would rather have it open in Firefox. How could I create a shortcut to that ?

Right-click on desktop, New -> Shortcut -> and type the command line as
"firefox.exe" https://webmail.netfirms.com/
(or whatever your webmail URL is. Also, if the above doesn't work, add the full pathname to firefox.exe, i.e. C:\Program Files\...)

I believe your method would work, but I have realised that FOR ME a better solution is to make Webmail the home page for Firefox, so THAT is what opens when Firefox is launched. Thank you again.
