Change firefox icon in address bar

I'm attempting to customize firefox to look like IE, don't ask why, trust me I don't want to. But anyway, I downloaded FoxE9, that kinda customizes firefox to look like ie9, which I think its the closest I'm gonna get.
Only problem Im running across is the firefox icon that is in the address bar on the left side, I think its called a favicon?
Is there any way to change or remove it? Also this is firefox portable version 26.

That isn't a correct action for the URL bar.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

How to hide extra text and icons in address bar

I want to make the icons and extra text in the address bar go away since they do nothing for me and only take up space that I need to use to see the whole URL. Right now there's a green padlock icon on the left side with 1/4 of the space taken up by "Mozilla Foundation (US)" instead of the URL, other times it's a little globe or a little lego/car battery looking thing, or several icons in a row. There's a permanent star shaped thingy on the left and a down arrow that want to get rid of as well. I don't care at all what they mean, I just want them gone. I need to see as much of the URL in the URL bar as possible, not a bunch of icons and extra non-URL text. The address bar should be for addresses, and that's how I want my browser to function. I don't care one single bit what those icons or extra text are for, so please don't try to advocate for their staying. I've made up my mind 100% that I want them gone. Can I make them go away, yes or no?

I use code to hide the URL in case of a EV certificate and only show it on hover.
You still see the green padlock.
That gives me extra space on the location bar

No icon in address bar

Safari used to show the icon for my web site in its address bar, but doesn't any more. There has been no change to the favicon.ico file, but our site is on a new server with possibly slightly different configuration. Also, more than one version of Mac OS X (and therefore probably Safari) has gone by since I last recall seeing the icon in the address bar.
If I trash the ~/Library/Safari/Icons folder, Safari re-fetches favicon.ico from the server, but still does not display it. The site in question is www.animalhead.com. Have the criteria that Safari uses for the "correctness" of an icon changed?
Any help would be much appreciated,

I keep answering my own questions on Apple forums. Does this make me eligible for any special awards, like "self-healing"?
After reading some stuff about icons, I had added the following line to the main configuration file (httpd.conf) of my Apache2 server, several months ago:
AddType image/x-icon .ico
When I comment out this line and restart the server, my little favicon shows up just fine in Safari.
Wikipedia suggests using "image/vnd.microsoft.icon" instead of "image/x-icon", but I can't bring myself to try anything with the m-word in it just now. Maybe I'll try it in the future...

Firefox 29 - transparent address bar

I have just upgraded to Firefox 29 and have managed to change the controls so it looks like the old version but I am unable to work out how to make the address bar and navigation buttons section transparent like they were before. Is there simple way to do this in Firefox settings or about:config or will I have to get an extension to restore this?

I tried the add-on but it made the navigation buttons transparent too so you could hardly see them and there was no separate setting to make the buttons properly visible.

FIrefox 20 - make address bar larger

Hi, I don't mind most the UI changes in Firefox 29, and am happy to adapt to the new interface. The only issue I'm having us that the address bar is too small. I am a web developer and constantly looking at URL slugs, and I need the address bar to be more visible. Is there any way to make it larger to see more of the URL? I also DO NOT want to rely on the "Classic Theme Restorer" addon. I use minimal Firefox addons , and I don't want to rely on a 3rd party addon, I would really just like to know how to increase the address bar length in Firefox 29 WITHOUT addons. As all I see right now is the SSL information an the first 10 characters of the URL, most of which are "https://ww", this is not very helpful for my use case.
Thank you,

Nevermind, I "reset to default" and now it's all better now. :)

How to getred plug in icon in address bar

Can not get javascript plugin in firefox. Instructions say , select options- content tab-mark 'enable javascrit check box' no such box appears under my content tab. A little further down on the same page it says 'javascript enabled in your browser'.
Have not got red plug in icon in my address bar, how do I get it?. this would be the simplest way for me to enable/disable javascript.
Main reason is that I can not enlarge photos in eBay.

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to toggle JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to toggle JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now enabled.
To Re-disable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you toggle JavaScript on the fly, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

Apple Mail links will not open in Firefox. The address bar and page are blank.

I have just upgraded Firefox to version 4.0 and when I receive an email with a link in it, the link will not work. Firefox will load but the page is blank and the web address bar will sometimes show the link and sometimes not. If I cut and paste the address from the email it will not work.

In mail.app preferences there is a setting for RSS that lets one choose which program is the default RSS reader. Whichever program is set to be the default RSS reader is used by mail.app to open any urls in mail messages.
I really like my Mac but this is the most un-userfriendly, un-"it just works" thing I've run across in the 23 years I've been using Macintosh...

[Solved] How can I change firefox icon permantly?

I want to change the Firefox icon in a way that I don't need to redo it after every Firefox Update (I heard rumours that this happens rather often )
So far I just change the entry in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Icon=firefox
-->
Icon=firefox-original
, but this is not persistent! Maybe I searched for the wrong terms, but I couldn't find a solution, yet.
Help appreciated!

Changing firefox icon in Applications Internet?

Hi, I know I know, Gran Paradiso is the same, but I removed "Grand Paradiso" and used the AUR and yaourt to install firefox, the official one. So, I can make a launcher on the desktop and its the Official Firefox icon, but if I make one in the System > Admin > Main Menu, it will still show up in Applications > Internet as the Icon for Gran Paraiso, that blue orb. Why is it that creating a launcher on the desktop uses the firefox icon and Internet > Firefox is still the blue orb. I did try and drag the desktop icon the the Main Menu editor as well.
Help to change the Applications > Internet > Firefox icon???
THANKS!

hi there, found a bit of info for you from here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome_Menu_tweaking
pacman -S alacarte
that will install menu editor if you havent got it yet. then what i do from there to change the icon is open Alacarte by right clicking Applications, select Edit Menus.... find Firefox that i want to change.... right-click it, select Properties... change Name to Firefox or whatever you want, click the icon on left side to change to what you want (this will all be done on the Properties window). anyways i hope this helps you out. good luck
edit: maybe you could also try a new icon theme out from gnomelook.org if you havent already.

Firefox mistakes the address bar as the search bar.

Everytime I go to do a Google search, I begin typing and all of a sudden, my text stops showing up in the search bar and begins to show up in the address bar. This also happens when I'm searching on YouTube and when I try to copy a link from the "Share" tab on a video, it automatically jumps to the address bar. Firefox seems to think it's now Google, I guess? It only does this on websites run by Google.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
