Thanks eryksun, this actually helped a lot. Unfortunately the creation of the Desktop shortcut is just not working (also not when triggered several times via the offline settings menu). But this is not to bad as I simply created a normal bookmark in FF (I guess this is all that the Desktop shortcut contains anyway right?),
One thing left though is that the same approach does not work for Google Reader. I tried different URIs: https://www.google.com/reader https://www.google.com/reader/ https://www.google.com/reader/view https://www.google.com/reader/view/ ... None of them seem to work. I tried to look at the localserver.db myself but didn't quite find a 'ignoreQuery' string for Google Reader. So perhaps if someone could point me also to the right Google Reader URI?
