I don't know how I did it, but somehow I screwed up my desktop in the following way: when I drag a URL from the address bar of my browser (typically Firefox) onto the desktop, I get the dialog box "filename for clipboard content:" and a space to type a filename into. This simply creates an icon for a text file consisting of the URL, instead of the desired action which is an icon that I can click to open the link to the URL in my browser. How do I fix this?
