To do so we just have to simply download and install a Mozilla extension which integrates with the browser and provides quick access to the file or folder.

To get it to your browser window go in ’view menu –> toolbar –> shortcut toolbar’.

And you can see in the above image we have a toolbar just below the navigation bar.We can create a new file and folder shortcut by just clicking on the extreme left icon of the toolbar, browse the folder and we are done with a shortcut.

More about this Addon

  • We can also change the order of the shortcuts.

  • We can also add unlimited number of shortcuts to any file or folder
