NOTE: This update is for instructional purposes only. You do not need to redownload or reinstall the add-on.

HTC, Samsung and all of the other major Android manufacturers often make major changes to the Android operating system which may mean these icons aren't actually used on some devices.

They will tap and hold on the empty space and find the option to Add a Bookmark to the screen.

Selecting the Bookmark for your site, adds the shortcut to your screen:
