How make a shortcut to open a website using FIREFOX (not Explorer)

I use a lot of shortcuts to open web pages, via Right-Click, New, Shortcut, and for Location entering "http://www.whatever.com".

Now I want to make some Shortcuts that open a website using Firefox, instead of Explorer. Does anyone know how?

If your file path has a space in it, e.g. c:\program files\Mozilla\firefox.exe, then you may need quotes around that as well, e.g. "c:\program files\Mozilla\firefox.exe"

Setting FF as the default browser will work, but then your other link-only vs. path+link shortcuts will open in Firefox instead of IE.

It looks like I accidently duplicated Callrs. Other command line options are available at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments.
