You can drag the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut. If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser. If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties). You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".
