Can't remove blank icons next to bookmarks

Recently upgraded from Firefox 3.x to 15 (I know, but 4+ is terrible IMO). Anyway - I want to remove the favicons next to bookmarks in the bookmarks tab AND the toolbar and it doesn't seem to be possible. Currently they are all showing an empty dotted box instead of the icons themselves. It seems doing this fix for old versions (http://www.ghacks.net/2009/05/11/how-to-remove-favicons-in-firefox-bookmarks/) will remove the icon, and stop new ones from being added but will NOT remove this annoying box.

I looked into the .css fix but my .css files are completely blank for some reason. How can I remove all of these boxes completely without an addon?

You're welcome
You can leave out the code of the .tab-throbber:not([pinned]), but that will cause the text to move if the throbber gets active.
<pre><nowiki>.tab-icon-image:not([pinned]) { display:none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
If you do not want the text to jump, but have an empty space then hide the favicon instead.
<pre><nowiki>.tab-icon-image:not([pinned]) { visibility:hidden !important; }
</nowiki></pre>

How do I remove the Icons next to each bookmark on the bookmark toolbar? They take up too much space and all the bookmarks I need on the toolbar dont show up.

On my bookmarks toolbar, each bookmark has the associated webpage icon next to it. I would like to remove those icons, as they take up too much space.
Thanks

The icons, if you are familiar with them or they are obvious, take up less space than the words. You can abbreviate the names down to next to nothing or even nothing.
To save space and help organization you can group bookmarks into folders on your Bookmarks toolbar.

How can I restore the icons in my bookmarks some have them and others are a blank rectangle.

there are icons in my bookmarks and others that are just blank rectangles. on the ones that are blank I would click on the bookmark and close the icon would return and others still remain a blank.
Please help me restore those icons that are blank.

Can't remove Safari icon

I keep removing the Safari icon from my dock but each time I restart the computer it appears again. It's the only app that appears to do this. How can I remove it and make it stay removed?
Marky

Locate the com.apple.dock.plist file in <username>/Library/Preferences
You could try these two options.
Option 1. Delete this file and revert your dock back to default apps.
or try the following:
Option 2. If you have the developer tools installed on your computer you can open the file with plist editor.
• When this programme opens it will display a window with a small grey arrow next to the word Root. Click on this grey arrow.
• Find the text persistent-apps click on the grey arrow next to it. A list of numbers will appear with grey arrows next to them.
• These are an ordered list of the apps in your dock. Click on the number 2 drop down arrow.
• Now in the list that has just dropped down click on the tile-data drop down arrow.
• Now locate the file-label text. On the right hand side it will give you the name of the application.
• Locate the number that safari is registered under. Number 1 is the first application after the dashboard.
• Click on the number safari is registered under and click on the delete button at the top of the window.
• Save this file and then either restart or logout.
Please post back and let me know if my suggestion fixes your problem or if you cannot understand my instructions.

Can't remove App Icon

I'm brand new to iPad (don't even have a smart phone).
One of the Apps I tried to download didn't work or finish.
The icon says "waiting" and it's a blank box. I can't remove it.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I encountered similar problem too. Turning off and on doesn't solve it.
You mentioned about resetting. IS it just a re-boot or a hard reset (where the phone restore to factory settings)? Is a re-boot different from turning off and on the iPad?
JimHdk wrote:
If you turn off the iPad (press sleep/wake button until power down slider appears) and restart it the wayward icon should go away.
You may also be able to eliminate the icon by resetting the iPad (press sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears).

How can I remove an icon from my desktop that doesn't want to go?

I was unsuccessful in installing a particular program, so I thought I would just "wipe the slate clean" and try again. Unfortunately, the icon on my desktop doesn't want to go. Every time I try to move it into the TRASH, a note on the screen says, "The icon "iScrobbler" cannot be moved to the trash because it is open".
I've turned the computer off and on again, and I've tried the DELETE button, but the icon remains on my desktop. How can I remove it?

There can be many reasons why a file "doesn't want"
something. But you may be able to replace the file if
you can rename it. Follow the steps here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107426
If that doesn't help, you may need to delete it using
root user privileges. That's a very advanced and
risky method so you should consult with someone who
is experienced with that process. I have done it many
times to delete goofed files that have a mind of
their own.
It didn't work, I'm sorry to say, but thanks for the idea. As to the "root user privileges" method, I wouldn't even consider it. My computer "skills" are definitely not at the level for trying anything that could be described in those terms. Still, there is hope. I found the creator of the program and sent him an e-mail message this morning.
Finally, I'd like to thank you again for your extraordinary performance. Talk about "service above and beyond.." well, that certainly describes you. I somehow feel that if you couldn't...no, no, let's not say that, let's just hope that the program's creator will be able to help. Thanks again for what you have done.

How can i get Apple icon next to my uploads on FB through Macbook ?

I know Apple icon only comes while using Iphone or Ipad But please find some way out so i can have Apple icon next to my uploads on FB while using Macbook !!
Developers do something .

In this case the difference is in the cables and the support for said cables. make sure all your Ethernet cables say Cat 6 on them.
It may be my imagination but I did experience a difference in my wired and wireless connections however I was using the MBP's internal wifi signal to connect my Wii and so on before. This hardware is way better.
If I had a HDD laying around I would have gotten the AExtreme. Make sure you're also not broadcasting the name (make it hidden) as well as using WPA2 personal to protect it.

Failed download.. I can't remove Setup icon

2 downloads have failed and now I have 2 (useless) iTunes setup icons on my desktop that I can't remove. They are .exe files of 0 bytes. Can somebody pls help me remove them?

Yes. Can't remove...being used by another program or person
eerie ...
okay, do you have multiple user accounts on that PC? if so, can you delete from a different user account? (there's some anecdotal evidence that switching off fast user switching can help during an itunes install.)
if no joy there, check to see if there are still installer processes running:

and if no joy there, maybe try switching your antivirus and antispyware off.
keep us posted.

How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

After several intents, I found a solution.
This is my userChrome.css file:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
Probably it's messy but works.

I installed Facetime on my Mac but it doesnt show "Contacts" . Every time I sign in to my account, I can only see the icon"Next" but nothing happens when I click that. Is there an way to uninstall and reinstall facetime ?

Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall Facetime on Mac ? The present version simply doesn't work. It shows me no "Contacts'. Infact once I click Next after I login, nothing at all happens. The video works fine though, I can see ,myself. But I have used Facetime a couple of times in the past from this same MAC.
Hence I wanna know if there's a way to uninstall and reinstall Facetime. Infact it doesn't even allow me to uninstall Facetime , every time I try it says, 'your Mac OS X needs Facetime'. PLEASE HELP !!!

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

How can I Add/Change Icon's for Bookmarks in Bookmarks toolbar?

My bookmarks toolbar at the moment has several links in it, most with just the icon(such as the YouTube logo). But some won't come up with icons, so I have to put a name next to it.
I was wondering how I would go about adding an Icon there, so I can get rid of the text.

How can I remove the icons from my personal toolbar (I don't need them, words are fine, and they take up too much space)?

I shorten the names of sites in the properties box to allow me to get a lot of them in my toolbar, and they no longer fit because of all the icons. Personally, I hate icons and don't understand why everyone has trouble with words, a trusted and highly refined technology of identifiers.

I can't remove an icon from dock

I installed some Canon software with a CD, then found that the software wouldn't work on the OS (10.9.1), but that iPhoto worked fine. So I dragged all the useless software in applications to trash and deleted trash. The icons for the various useless apps remained in the dock. I dragged them out but they wouldn't disappear with the usual puff of smoke, so I dragged them to trash and all but one of them disappeared. I can't get this last one off! Any suggestions?

Write a nasty email to HP about this obnoxious behavior. What they have done is create a hidden program that runs automatically on startup and inserts the thing in your Dock. You can delete the noxious program, but it leaves an entry in the login.plist file so that the system tries vainly to launch the now missing program. Bad HP! You need to remove the program AND edit your login.plist file. See this description:
http://www.twisty.com/bandwagon/archives/2004/04/10/122200
I consider this behavior adequate reason to not buy HP products.

Can I remove the logos from the bookmark toolbar?

I really hate the inclusion of the logos on the bookmark toolbar. Can I customize it to remove them? It makes for more clutter and I really don't need reminders of logos I see a million times already;-]

AS2 also allowed you to add custom request headers, but not
modify certain headers (modifying would include 'removing'). And
for POST requests only.
This appears consistent:

as3

Flash uses the browser connection when it runs in the
browser, so I don't really know but I think it may also be
dependent on the browser... I presume that's part of the reason,
the other part is possibly related to security, I guess. Also, I
don't understand what the harm of leaving it is. Out of curiosity,
under what circumstances would it be essential to remove the
Referer header from flash requests? I've only ever added custom
headers to my flash POST requests sometimes, for various
reasons.
