Bookmark icons gone generic

All my Safari bookmarks have gone generic (dog-eared white rectangle). Some still work when Safari has been opend. When the app is closed, doubleclicking most marks begins to open the app but then it immediately closes.
Otherwise, Safari (2.0.3) is acting normally

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.

Safari icons gone generic

The app (Safari 2.0.3) retains it's icon in the Applications Folder, but becomes generic in the Dock. All bookmark files have gone generic, most no longer link directly to Safari when clicked. To open a bookmark I must drag the icon to the Safari icon.
New bookmarks show as generic (dog-eared white page) icon.

Make bookmark icon gone

The small make bookmark icon (small square with right arrow in it) no longer appears next to the "open book" icon in Safari or anywhere else. IPad 3 IOS 7. Rarely used so don't know when it disappeared. Suggestions appreciated.

You should have a 'share' icon of a square with an upware pointing arrow to the left of the URL address field in Safari :
Tapping that shoud give you a number of options, including 'bookmark'.

My toolbar is gone when you open firefox can't see tabs that are open or anything. But if you move the mouse to the top of the screen it appears but it does not show the firefox tab and now my bookmark icon is not on the toolbar but the home icon is.

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.

Is there a way to customize safari bookmarks' icons

I guess the question says it all.
I would like to customize the generic bookmarks' icons in the safari Favorites page.
Any way to do that?

What do you mean by "customize"?
If you want to change the icon for a specifc bookmarked site in the Favorites list, then lizdance40 is correct. There is no way to change a site to use a custom icon.
If you want to change which bookmarked sites appear in the list, then the answer is yes, you can change the list of sites that appears in the list as well the order that they appear. To change which sites appear in the Favorites list, add bookmarks to or remove bookmarks from the Favorites folder by navigating to that folder in the Boomarks pop-over (tap the Bookmarks icon to the right of the address field, then tap the Bookmarks icon, then navigate to the Favorites folder, then tap the "Edit" button). You can also open a new tab, then press-and-hold on one icon to move it to a new location. Just drop it when it's in place.

Why did my bookmarks icon disappear and why is my bookmarks menu suddenly on the left side?

Recently, Firefox updated to 23.0.1 (beta?) and once the browser was back up, I noticed that my bookmark icon (the star) was gone. I fixed the problem easily enough by setting it back up to where it originally was. Now my problem is that when I click the icon, my menu appears on the left side of the screen rather than the right as it did previously before the update. I downgraded to 22 and that didn't fix the problem. I would really like for the menu to be back on the right side, as the left is just frustrating me. I did not find any quick fix in the customization menu, or in safe mode. Can anyone help me out?

Bookmarks icon ---- where did it go?

help... this should be a real easy one for you guys out there. I don't know why but my bookmarks icon on the upper left just below the (backwards-history/forwards-history) black arrowsis gone and i don't know how to get it back. This little icon is just the best and i need help. Thanks.

I assume you are talking about Safari? Go to the Bookmarks tab in Safari preferences. Is the "Include Bookmarks Bar" box checked? In not check it and you should be fine. If not, post back.

Why don't my bookmark icons on my bookmark toolbar stay when I exit and go back into Firefox?

The bookmark icons stay on my desktop computer, but they don't on my laptop. Is there a setting somewhere where I can change it?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first downloaded Firefox

What's the solution?
Whenever I start firefox, default icon for all bookmarks show up :(.. They only change when I click on the bookmarks to open that page. The sad part, if I close-open/restart firefox, they are all gone :(

Webpage icons - gone in lieu of blue dots

Hi-
My Safari web bookmarks used to have an icon (where applicable) next to them, and are now gone, kaput. I've bookmarked a page with a known icon, and it doesn't display one anymore; just the ol' blue dot.
The help area says that Safari will display these icons, but doesn't explain how to change the option and so here I am.
How to go back to the fun icons? I miss them.

I'm quite certain that using Safari-Reset Safari does not erase bookmarks.....the icons perhaps, but not the actual bookmark links.
The warning message shown when resetting Safari is
Resetting Safari erases your browsing history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes cookies. It also removes any saved names and passwords or other AutoFill text and clears Google search entries.
Uhoh - it seems that your bookmarks have gone - but there is some other reason for it. Safari-Reset is not meant to erase them.

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.
