Is there a substitute for Deskcut for the new version?

I just downloaded the newest version of FireFox today. Big mistake. It no longer allows Deskcut to work. Without an easy way to send website shortcuts to the desktop (which I do many times each day), I'll have to use another browser.

Hi Bmethven,

It's really easy to add website shortcuts to your desktop, without need for an addon. Simply resize the Firefox window so you can see the desktop behind it, and then drag the "i" icon from the left-hand side of the address bar onto your desktop.

Here's a demonstration

This solution is clumsy. What is the effort being made to apply a one or two click replacement or restoration of Deskcut?
