+Help Desk Roundup
+-----------------
+
+On Firefox, it is possible to drag a URL from the Navigation Toolbar to
+the Desktop in order to create a Desktop shortcut to a website. The
+help desk has been asked why this functionality is disabled in Tor Browser.
+A Desktop shortcut to a URL, when clicked, would be opened by the operating
+system's default browser, not by Tor Browser. Permitting this behavior
+would open the door to confusion as to whether or not a user was visiting
+a link over Tor, and would violate the "Proxy Obedience" requirement of the
+Tor Browser design [XXX].
