This is true. Microsoft simply implemented its "Favorites" as a folder of webpage shortcuts. If one really prefers to launch directly into a given webpage for a different default browser you can simply create that same shortcut style in favorites "by hand." Chrome allows you to create what it calls an "application shortcut" to take you directly to a webpage when you click on it via the "hamburger stack button"/Menu button, More Tools, Create application shortcuts. This will place the result on your desktop, if you prefer it be in the Favorites folder you can cut and paste it there. There is a Firefox extension called deskCut that does the same thing, but does not work under Windows 10 and Firefox 43.0.4, and I'm not certain which is the problem since there is a very recent review saying that it does work even though the extension is quite old. There is another, SaveLink, that is slightly more complicated in that it can save the web page shortcut to any folder you define as a place you'd like to save them. If if the Favorites folder is where you'd prefer they go then you can add add that to the list of folders where SaveLink can save web page shortcuts and always direct SaveLink to place it there. I have not tested either of these Firefox add-ons for how well they may, or may not, interact with JAWS. Since the Chrome method is built in to Chrome if you can get to the Chrome menu you can get to it. Brian
