Why have some of my bookmark icons become generic, just a rectangle surrounded by a dotted line?

I had to dig a bit to figure out your cryptic reply, but I did finally get to the bottom of the mystery of Firefox's generic icons. Thanks.

  • Why have some icons become blank in iphone3 (used as iPod)?

    Using an iphone 3G as an ipod - some of the app icons are blank although still launch the app when tapped.  The name of the app is still visible.  Is there a solution for this?  Thank you

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make sure the apps are in your iTunes library and then sync
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • After having to reinstall Firefox (2X)- some of my bookmarks show a generic kind of box, I can't get them to show the proper icon

    Firefox and Thunderbird have somehow become corrupted in the last two days and I have had to download and reinstall both. By this I mean when I tried to start, a box popped up saying it crashed and it would not correct. I had to redownload and reinstall
    Firefox shows my bookmarks toolbar, and most of the icons are correct. There are a few icons that 'disappeared' and in their place is a generic kind of box. Won't show the icon or the name.

    That is the new default icon replacement used in Firefox 8+.

  • Why have some tracks appeared in duplicate?

    Some tracks in iTunes Match appear on my iPad and iPhone in duplicate. For example, the iTunes library on my Mac has Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree on it. This appears in playlists so it is on both my mobile devices as well. However, since subscribing to Match the downloaded tracks AND duplicate undownloaded tracks appear on my mobile devices...why is this and can I do anything about it?

    If you have view automation turned on and click the disclosure triangle in the track header you can see extra automation tracks. This is to allow you to view different types of automation for a single track without having them all bunched on top of each other.
    At a guess, they appear empty because you don't have any other automation on the track apart from volume. You can get rid of them by clicking on the disclosure triangle to hide them then check out the automation section of the manual, it should make more sense to you after this.

  • Why have you removed the bookmarks side panel button? This is THE most important feature of firefox.

    Since last update of firefox, the button to open the side bar bookmarks have been removed (ctrl+B) equivalent.
    I don't want to do a ctrl+B command in a graphical interface that I use so often. There is no good enough extension for that task.
    This is THE reason I used firefox since the begining.
    I have gazillions of bookmarks cleanly ordered since YEARS of web browsing. This is the way I use internet. If I have a project I create a folder and I put every interesting links I want to remember in it. There is no way to do that in a dropdown menu which close at every click.
    I know people who use chrome and keep up to 60 tab open just to remember what they need.
    I just spent half a day searching for proper extension in chrome and opera.
    I feel so frustrated and powerless in front of browser developpement, I have to tell it. I would gladly pay 20$ per year to keep that function there, a single button sending ctrl+B command, so simple and already coded.
    Firefox was my only browser for years, I leave you with that. Now I'm going to download and try the new internet explorer.

    You can find the link to open the bookmarks in the sidebar at the top of the bookmark menu button list that opens if you click the folder button (Show your bookmarks) next to the bookmarks star on the Navigation Toolbar.
    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
    *Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    *You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
    *You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)
    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
    *You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

  • Why have some apps on my Ipad turned into a grey box with lines in it?

    3 apps on my ipad have turned from icons into grey boxes with lines in them. When I click on them, they try updating but it doesn't complete. What's going on here? Is this some kind of virus?

    Not a virus. More like a glitch. When mine did that all I needed to do was to open the apps and the icons reset.
    If you won't lose any game progress or the such, you could try to delete and then redownload the apps.
    If you're having issues downloading the apps, try to go into the settings, iTUnes and app store, sign out and then sign back in.
    The app store has been a bit wiggy lately. I've had some issues downloading apps or updates and it's not on my end, it's on Apple's end. Which, unfortunately, means there's not much a user can do but wait for Apple to fix it.

  • Why have I got 2 Safari icons on the desktop?

    Hello
    I don't know how this happened, but I now have 2 Safari icons in the dock (one is outlined by a square when clicked), but when my husband goes into his account, he can't get Safari and it doesn't show in the finder!
    Can anybody advise, or will I have to get somebody out to look at this?
    Thanks

    not sure why it's there twice.  just use your mouse to lift one of them up above the dock and it will "poof" and disappear.

  • Why have some users no connection in my App?

    Hi
    I have another problem.
    Some users have problems when they open my App. The App needs a network connection and starts with this code to check if it has network connection:
    //Check network connectivity
    Boolean success;
    Boolean _isDataSourceAvailable;
    const char *host_name = "google.ch"; //For example
    SCNetworkReachabilityRef reachability = SCNetworkReachabilityCreateWithName(NULL, host_name);
    SCNetworkReachabilityFlags flags;
    success = SCNetworkReachabilityGetFlags(reachability, &flags);
    _isDataSourceAvailable = success && (flags & kSCNetworkFlagsReachable) && !(flags & kSCNetworkFlagsConnectionRequired);
    //If there is no network connection
    if (!_isDataSourceAvailable) {
    //Show noConnection View
    } else {
    //Connection successful
    But some users get the noConnection View but they have network connection. Is there a mistake in my code? What are you using for checking the connection?
    Thanks

    its been discussed elsewhere in these forums. Suffice to say you have to initiate a connection to "force" the network status to return the correct values...

  • Why have some of my toolbar settings suddenly appeared in a foreign language?

    I tried to post a screen shot, but I can't paste here apparently. The toolbar line that has some of my icons, like Facebook, Skype, and YouTube, also contain items that appear to be written in Arabic or Greek or another foreign language.
    Fore example, first one is: rockholmi.ru followed by a search bar, then a green arrow followed by the words: Hantn (both ns are small capital Ns and the first one has this symbol ~ over it. Next comes a globe with the words: Mehho. The first h is capitalized and the second capital H is attached to the o. When I pull down the menu items next to these words, they are also in these mysterious languages. However, the rest of my toolbar is in English! Help, please!

  • Trouble with some documents: no custom icon, only generic appears

    I tried anything: rebuilt launch servcice, permission repair, daily, weekly, monthly scripts (using maintanace, onyx, etc...) BUT all the documents associated with Openoffice have no custom icon. I also tried reinstalling oo with no success. It happens with textedit and keynote (using "get info", open with, apply to all) and don't know why?
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

    You could create a new admin user and move the data within each of these folders to the corresponding folder on the new account: Desktop, Documents. Library, Movies, Music, etc. You can di it most easily IMO, by copying your Home folder to DVD first. Alternatively, you could use Users/Shared for the data.
    But it would really be best to sort this issue in your present user.
    It would be a good idea to test with a new user though to see if the problem exists there.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your OO & TE work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.
