Right click on the shortcut, then select Properties from the menu that pops up. Click on the Shortcut tab, if it isn’t already pointing to that one.
Look at the start of the “target” field. It will contain the path to your Safari browser, probably in quotation marks. Delete that path and enter the path to Firefox – which will probably be something like:
“C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe”
Click on OK to close the property box then try it out from the desktop.
You may also want to change the “Start in” path to point to the same one in which firefox resides.
