Bookmark Icon Missing

I use Windows XP Home Edition. I currently use FireFox 9.0.1 as my default browser. I noticed that two of my Bookmark Toolbar links no longer show Icons. They show a "dotted line" square. I also noticed that several but not all bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu exhibit the same behavior. I tried deleting the links in the toolbar and re-creating them to no avail. Accessing them was not impaired but they still look very strange. I have rebooted, cold started with no success. Ran a virus check and found nothing. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. Any ideas?

I tried the FavIcons Addon. It seemed to work of some of the bookmarks I had but wouldn't work at all on ones in my Bookmarks Toolbar. One of the suggestions I got from one of the links above suggested that I delete the "places.sqlite" file out of my Profile and then restart FireFox. FireFox would then rebuild my Bookmarks file from a backup. I tried this and FireFox did rebuild the Bookmarks file but removed all of the Website specific icons for Bookmarks. To restore them, I had to access all of my Bookmarks. However, accessing some of the Websites didn't pick up some Icons, specifically the ones with which I had problems before. Is it possible that whoever maintains these websites has made a change that keeps FireFox from picking up the Website Icon?

Why in Firefox 9 are many bookmark icons missing? (Mac OSX Leopard)

After the 9.0 update most all of the icons in the bookmarks lists disappeared. Others have a dotted line box in place of solid box. What gives?

Missing Bookmark Icons

Hi,
I've recently been having a few problems with Safari (spinning beachball and freezing).
After a recent force quit I noticed that some of my my bookmark icons arn't showing up. This is very annoying for me as I use these a lot when visiting my favorites.(I realize that most people get annoyed by HAVING icons!)
Anyway, I miss them and want them back..... any Ideas?
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello kez:
First, I would try to determine what is causing your performance problems.
Run repair disk from your software install DVD
Clear the Safari cache.
Close Safari, trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist), restart, and enter your personal preferences.
Trash the favicon file to clear out any problems there (~library>safari>icons). When you visit a web page for the first time, the favicon (if there is one) will be stored.

In the videos I've seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon. Mine is missing. Any idea why or how to get it.

In the videos on the website I have seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon for viewing all your open web pages. Mine is missing.Any idea why or how do I put one on?

Safari now uses tabs in iOS 5 so that icon is no longer in Safari. You have to tap on the + sign on the right side of the toolbar to create a new tab. You can open a new web site in that tab. You navigate from open page to open page by tapping on the tabs.
To close a tab - tap on the X in the left side of the tab.

My favorites bookmark icon has disappeared. It was next to my home page icon and is now gone. How do I get it and my bookmarks back

My bookmarks icon, which was located next to the homepage icon is missing. Please tell me how to restore the icon so I can have access to the bookmarks

Hi,
Please try this: '''View '''('''Alt '''+ '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' > '''Customize''' or right-click the '''+''' after the last tab, look for the '''Bookmarks''' icon (there may be two), click, hold, drag and drop it on an empty space in the toolbar. When the '''Customize...''' window is open you can also check if the icon is hidden below other icons by moving the other toolbar items.

After updating to Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 PC the bookmarks icon won't stay on the toolbar and I can't click it to get a bookmarks column on the left side of the screen, how do I fix it?

There was no bookmarks icon on the toolbar. I used View > Toolbars> customise to put various icons on the toolbar all of which were visible using "customise". On going back to Firefox all the other icons remained visible but the Bookmarks Icon disappeared leaving no means of getting a bookmarks column on the left of the screen when using Firefox.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar<br />
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 toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

What happened to the Add Bookmark icon

In Safari 6 under ML, the Add Bookmark Icon, is missing. I know I can use Command D, but sometimes using the + was quicker. Is there someone to turn that feature back on?

Yes. Go to Safari>View>Customize Toolbar.

Cant change bookmark icon

basically what i have been trying to do is change the bookmark icon on my desktop for a web-link the link is for Air Droid ( i also have the Firefox addon on my phone) to transfer files but the icon is quite bad and easy to miss a white icon with a green paper airplane i have tried for multiple hours if you have any knowledge on the subject you can tell me please do share

You will have to set an icon yourself to an shortcut on the desktop in the Properties via the right-click context menu if the current icon isn't distinctive enough.
You can toggle the browser.shell.shortcutFavicons pref to see if that makes Firefox use the favicon for a desktop shortcut
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Bookmarks are missing from both my list and bookmark tab and I don't know if this was caused by plugin or due to lack of space in my internal HD. Please help?

Dear Community, I promise I'll try to be as concise as possible. I'm really desperate for help! I've read absolutely everything about missing bookmarks, but as you will see my problem is also about cursors and Google showing differently on screen.
It all started this day I was running short on storage space in my internat HD. Suddenly my computer showed that I had 0 KB available, and I just deleted some big mov files and restarted the computer. After the reboot, I opened FF and noticed that my bookmarks were missing and so was my reading list - my reading list is stored with the help of ReadItLater plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/read-it-later/). I tried to google solutions for my problem and realized that something was weird with the way results were displayed.
So, I made some screenshots because it's really hard to explain what's going on by writing, so please take a look:
1. When I first open my FF, if I click on ReadItLater, I get this error message (code 0x80570016): [[click here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/81007892@N07/7423869970/]]
2. Then if I click on any link on the page, and go back to check my ReadItLater list, I can open it without getting an error message but still NO READING LIST is shown. Image: [[click here|http://flic.kr/p/cj2gPm]]
3. Now take a look on how Google is displaying results on FF! The text appears in Black/Green when it's really supposed to be displayed in Blue/Green/Black! The cursor is also messed up: when I try to click one of the links with the arrow, it turns into a type cursor instead of the usual hand or clicking cursor! Please see the image: [[click here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/81007892@N07/7423869468/]]
4. Here's a screenshot of the same Google search but this time done on Safari. Compare it with the previous image: [[click here|http://www.flickr.com/photos/81007892@N07/7423869252/]]
Any help will be much appreciated. I've already tried to reinstall FF again, and I've also deleted it and reinstalled FF but I never deleted profile/personal info that is in the Library Folder. Also, have tried to back up and replace the profile folder but my computer didn't allow me. I got a message saying it was not possible to copy the places.sqlite-wal file. I have done a search about it and I can say I never had a profile duplicate. Please help? I'm desperate and I can't lose my reading list or my bookmarks!
Thank you, Firefox community!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My bookmark icons can be fully seen in bookmark toolbar. But on the address bar and on tab most of the icons are blank and when I open most of the websites, their icons are also blank, too. I've already reinstall the firefox 3.6.3 but it is the same. Please help me. Some of the websites show thier icon normally.

Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

We have a new iPad Mini. I cannot save a new Bookmark. In Safari, I go to "Share" and select "Add a Bookmark" yet when I click on the Bookmarks icon, my saved Bookmark is not there. Am I doing something wrong?

We have a new iPad Mini, and I'm having inconsistent results using Bookmarks in the Safari icon.
For a long time, on the iPad, I could only see five items under the Bookmark icons and the Bookmarks Bar was empty.
Occasionally, in Safari, the iPad would pick up and display all of the Bookmarks from the Safari browser on my iMac.
Other times, there are only a bare few Bookmarks available on the iPad, the Bookmarks Bar goes away and I cannot save a new Bookmark. It looks like I can save one, but I cannot find it after allegedly saving.
Then, all of the Bookmarks will come back and I can save a new Bookmark again. We can't figure out why all of the Bookmarks will show and then they won't.
I want to think this involves iCloud some way, but for right now, I'm stumped. Perhaps we're just too inexperienced and haven't come around the learning curve yet.
Thanks for any help.
Steve

No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue. When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab. But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back. When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
Thanks.

My UI is not the same as that shown in the Mozilla website..why? (i.e home button still on left hand side of screen and no bookmark icon)

I was using FF 4 Beta and applied the update ... I noticed that my final version was not the same as shown on the website so I removed the beta setup file and took off all versions of FF cleaned adn restarted my laptop and then reinstalled a clean version of FF 4.. however my final* version is not the same as shown still. Is this right or do I need to do something else :(
Examples of what is different is the home icon remains on the left hand side of the screen next to the back button and I do not have the bookmarks icons which from the website should appear on the right hand side next to the new location of the home button.

Look you can customize it very easily.
Press Alt+V to have the View Menu -> Select Toolbars -> Click on Customize -> Now drag the Home Button to anywhere on the toolbar and pick the Bookmarks Button from the available icons and put it in the toolbar.
