How to place a web page short cut on home page

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 A running android 7 and I want to place a short cut onto my home page. On my older tab S 10.1 after bookmarking a page I was the given the option to add the bookmark/Shortcut to a home page. Not all the sites that I look at have apps. so it is convenient to go through the short cut.
I still get the option to add a short cut on a home page but it just doesn't happen.
I am running Firefox browser.

Advice appreciated. Chris

Thank you and please register so we can better help you. When in the browser go to the page you like then hit 3 dots on right and scroll to add to home screen. I am on a keyone but should be the same.

Firefox Version 59.0.2 (it could be different in different versions)

3 dots/Page/Add page shortcut (last item)

I am running Firefox 50.0.2 and there is no mention of adding a shortcut to the homepage from the dropdown list.

Sorry I found add page shortcut but the shortcut doesn't appear on the home page.

I do...

Tap the 3-dot menu at the right of the address bar. Tap Page, tap Add Page Shortcut. On mine (fresh install of Firefox) I'm prompted to long-press the icon and drag it to wherever I want it on my home screen.

Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply. The problem is I don't get a icon to drag anywhere. When I get to add page shortcut the screen changes to a home page but there is no icon there which on my previous Samsung Tab S used to happen.

So, when you tap the add page shortcut menu item you don't get the screen as seen below?

No I don't. All that happens is the page that I want a shortcut for just doesn't appear just goes to home page with no icon.

Hmm, I have the same version of Firefox that you do.
