I have created a shortcut to a website using this guide. Now I can see the shortcut on my desktop and it works fine. But I would like to add the shortcut on the side dock.
I can't seem to do it by drag and dropping, and there is no right-click option to "add to favourites".

Create a new file, say
MyWebsite.desktopin your~/.local/share/applications/directory. You can do that by running the following in Terminaltouch ~/.local/share/applications/MyWebsite.desktopOpen this file with a text-editor, for example by running
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/MyWebsite.desktopAdd the following lines to this file and save the file
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Open XYZ website
Terminal=false
Name=XYZ website
Exec=firefox website-URL
Type=Application
Icon=applications-internet
NoDisplay=falseIn place of
website-URLput the address you want to visit, for examplehttps://askubuntu.comfor Ask Ubuntu. Also edit the theComment=andName=fields accordingly.Click on "Activities" at the top bar or "Show Applications" in the dock and search for "XYZ website". It should appear.
