Sometimes it's useful to download a shortcut to a web site as a file that can be saved in a folder on the local disk.
This add-on creates a cross-platform alternative to an shortcut such as a
.URL,
.website, or
.LNK file (on Windows); a URL shortcut
.webloc file (on Mac OS X); or a
Type=Link desktop file (on Linux). The same HTML link file is compatible with multiple browsers and operating systems.
Click the "Save a link" button to download and save a file that works as a link to the current page. This file ends with
.link.html, but it does
not save a copy of the current page. It's like a bookmark, but stored as an individual HTML stub file pointing to the desired URL.
