Bookmark Bar buttons are messed up.

I use Safari 5 on my Mac and on Windows. For some reason my bookmark bar buttons are all squished on my Windows S5 so that the names on the buttons do not show properly.
Is there a way to fix this? Is there something like an INI that I can delete that would reset the button sizes on the bookmark bar? I hope this does not happen on my Mac as well.
The machine where I am seeing this unfortunate behavior is a Windows XP SP 3 based system with all other updates applied to it as needed. So I don't think I am missing at patch or something along those lines.
I have also tried removing my bookmarks.plist file and the com.apple.safari.plist file both of which where in my profile folder and this did not help either.
If anyone else has seen this behavior and knows how to resolve it. Please let me know. Otherwise, I really like the new Safari, just need this one issue resolved.

  • All of my task bar buttons are grey

    All of my Taks Bar buttons are grey and I only have graphite an blue in the Appearance Prefrences window to choose from.

    Correct - what you have described is normal for Lion.
    Lion removed a lot of color from auxiliary icons, such as those in the Sidebar and those in toolbars. It's a shame, because clor can be a quick aid in finding the one you want quickly - it's a very good visual identifier.
    Re Appearance in the General pane of System Preferences - Blue and Graphite are the only choices offered in Lion.

  • Scroll bar buttons are missing

    scroll bar buttons, arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar in the Thunderbird inbox, are missing in a linux distrobution. They are present in windows XP. The version is 24.6.0. How can I get them back?

    I do not have any linux system, but located this item:

  • I updated to firefox 18.0 and suddenly all of my bookmarks and explorer bar windows are messed up. how do i fix this?

    basically any time I open up one of the windows at the top of my firefox, such as "bookmarks", the real firefox window where my browsing is is duplicated into my bookmarks menu. This only started happening immediately after installing version 18.0. I tried updating my graphics plug-ins, as well as un-installing all previous firefox versions, including the current one, and re-istalled. None f this fixed the problem. I've included an image of this happening on my browser

  • Tab bar icons are not loading. (bookmarks bar icons ARE)

    In the last week (or so, I don't know exactly when this started happening) the icons on my tab bar started first of all, not refreshing - if I loaded a site onto a tab that had previously been showing a favicon the new icon wouldn't load - and then not loading at all.
    I have a desktop PC and a laptop, both running Windows 7, both were running Firefox 4 but I've just upgraded the laptop to 5 to see if that fixed the problem. it didn't. I've tried Check Places, deleted places.sqlite - places.sqlite-journal wasn't there so I couldn't delete that; checked browser.chrome.favicons;true
    browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size;1024
    browser.chrome.site_icons;true
    which were all OK.

    Firefox Help already had an answer for me - should have looked better: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_icons-missing-in-the-bookmarks-menu
    IT WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!!! THANK YOU!

  • Bookmark Bar - Strange numbers Next to Titles

    For some reason in my bookmark bar there are numbers in parenthesis next to the titles. For example I see "News (260)" where before it was just "News". They seem to come and go. I have gone in and tried to rename. But after I do the number is still there in parens next to the title. Not a major annoyance but I'd like to rid of them. Any thoughts? Suggestions on how to get rid of it.

    Hi,
    The number by the side is an indication of how many unread RSS news articles you have in that folder.
    Do you have any RSS feeds present in the News folder? They will have an icon that looks like a newspaper.

  • TS4001 iCloud Syncs my Desktop Bookmark Bar items to my iOS Bookmark Menu, folders only

    I have all of my bookmarks in Safari on my desktop (OS X 10.7.5) via the Bookmark BAR - I have them organized in folders for ease, and I like it that way.
    When I use iCloud to sync Bookmarks to my iOS devices (iPad Retina and iPod Touch, latest iOS), the result is that I end up with a series of bookmark folders in the "Bookmark Menu (not the Bookmark Bar) that duplicates bookmarks and folders that I have on my iMac desktop in the Bookmark Bar.
    Problem 1.  I don't want them in the Bookmark Menu on my iOS devices, I want them in the Bookmark Bar so I can use them from the bar.
    Problem 2.  Even if I wanted to use what ends up on my iOS devices, I can't because none of the bookmarks in the folders are there, only a series of folders.  The only actual bookmarks that are on my iOS devices are those that are not in folders - and again, those few are in the Bookmark Menu, not the Bookmark Bar.
    Can anyone help with this?
    iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011; 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    iPod Model PC544LL/A; version 6.1.3
    iPad Model MD515LL/A; version 6.1.3

    So what you are saying is that if I save a url on my desktop Mac as a Boomark Bar item, it SHOULd sync to the Bookmark Bar on my iOS devices?  That was the issue I was complaining about.  It was not.  Please confirm that because I am only assuming that from your last paragraph above.
    As for the whole duplicate thing, from my searching the forums today I realize that is a common "issue" people are complaining about - that their bookmark bar items are also showing in the bookmark menu.  I think that is what you were referring to.
    So I did try your set of steps in your last paragraph above and they did not work.  In fact, nothing seemed to sync except the test Boomark Bar folder addition I made on my iPad which synced to my iPod touch.  Other than that, nothing else synced from my Desktop - neither in my Bookmark Bar or my Boomark Menu.
    Posbily related - Unforntunately, becasue I was having this problem earlier and also had noticed the whole issue with the fact I had all of the same folders on my Desktop Bookmark Menu as I had in my Desktop Bar - I tried to solve that issue by deleting all of the items under my Bookmark Menu, and now I do not have anything in that folder except:
    Recent Tags
    Recently Bookmarked
    Get Bookmark Add-ons
    Feeds (folder with items in it)
    Unsorted Bookmarks (folder empty)
    Is that part of my problem now?
    Thanks,

  • Problem with the folders in bookmarks bar

    I have many folders in my bookmarks bar that are set to open all on click (have the square beside them). I know that if I click and hold, the links should drop down and I should be able to choose to open just one. The problem is that when I click and hold they don't drop down. I used to have to try about three times before it would work, in Leopard. But since Snow Leopard it hardly ever works. Any suggestions?

  • In the Navigation toolbar, the Forward/back buttons are dimmed, and the URL bar has "Search Bookmarks and History"

    The Forward and Back buttons are dimmed and don't work, and "Search Bookmarks and History" is in the URL bar. Also, I sometimes find blank pages with "Search Bookmarks and History" in the URL bar after visiting some websites.

    No, no need to remove other SQLite files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown

    Address/Location bar, forward-back buttons are not shown in my browser. How can I make them visible?

    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Make sure that the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar

  • Tab Selects Buttons and Bookmarks Bar

    Up until this point, Safari has been working on my machine just fine- a few stability issues aside. However, randomly, today when I press tab, the browser buttons , URL field, Google Field and Bookmarks Bar items and finally Page Fields are selected, instead of the normal URL Field, Google Field, Page Field arrangement.
    Does anyone know what caused this to happen, and what solutions might be available? I've checked to make sure that the Tab option for "highlight each item on a webpage" is off, and I've tried clearing my preferences.

    That particular setting has a hotkey assigned by default, which I believe is alt/option - F7 .... The setting was changed on my machine when I started seeing what all the F-keys did, and inadvertently pressed the key combo.
    Hope this helps,
    Mat

  • Safari 5.1.1 messed up Bookmarks Bar

    After updates 5.1.1, OS 10.7.2 and iCloud I found Safari's Bokmarks Bar messed up. Some of the references were out of order, misplaced, some were deleted, some, without my action and undesired, were added. What's really aggravating that an old address which was in my Bookmarks Bar for years woudn't be accepted back.

    Did you try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file yet?
    Could be the preferences are corrupted after the updates were installed.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
    For LIon:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • Firefox started crashing right at startup after I've detached a button from bookmark bar

    firefox started crashign at startup after I've detached a button from bookmark bar. It doesn't start in safemode either.

    That looks like a problem with the Taskbar previews.
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    *[1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    *[2] http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    *[3] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
