Customizing the Address bar icon

While browsing with IE, generally the address bar will show a standard IE icon as the first element of the address bar.
How to add our own icon in the address bar instead of that standard one.
For example, the below 3 links has it's own address bar icon.
http://www.stars.com/
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/basics/index.html
http://www.ibphoenix.com/ibp_iclient_blob.html
How to do this.
Thanks in advance.

To add your own icon into the address bar you need have an icon file for the image to be displayed.
The image should be a 16x16 pixel, and preferably a 16 color icon.Save this file by the name favicon.ico and upload it to the root folder of your site.
Add the following line in your index.htm or the file which you want to have bookmark facility.
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="https://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico">
Note: You need to have ICO file support on your server.
for more information you can logon to www.favicon.com
Hopefully this helps.

I want to Remove RSS icon from the address bar when I click on My SMF Forum

I have a SMF forum when I click on the login page I see an RSS icon in the right of the address bar next to a star.
The forum opens in an RSS to subscribe, which is stupid as it is not an RSS feed, it is a forum. I want to get rid of this and do not know how to do it.

This is a feature of firefox, although it may have been removed from firefox 4beta ( at least in default set up, no idea why). The appearance of the RSS icon within the location bar is intended to inform that RSS feeds are available from the site in use. You may note that this firefox forum we are using has such an icon displaying in the location bar, that is because feeds are available allowing you to track the threads, no doubt something similar happens with the SMF forum you mention.
If it is possible to remove the RSS icon from the location bar it will certainly not be straightforward, other than by upgrading to 4beta, and that is available now, and may be run whilst the stable version firefox 3.6 is still installed on your computer. (iirc there is an add-on available to add the rss icon to Fx4)
If a post answers your enquiry, you may wish to use the button alongside it to mark it as solved.

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.

In Firefox 4, why are the website icons not appearing in the tabs and next to the URL in the address bar? They appear fine in the bookmarks menu.

The little favicons that represent the website show up as the blank page icon in the toolbar and in the address bar, but they appear fine in the bookmarks bar. I have tried clearing my cache, and that did not help.

Clicking on Safari Icon at bottom brings up "Go to this address" in the address bar.

Ever since I downloaded the Lion upgrade, when I click on the Safari icon in the icon bar, instead of bringing up my homepage, it brings up "Go to this address" in the address bar. I have to click on the "home icon" at the top left to get the homepage to activate. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Open Safari > go to "Preferences > General > under "New Windows open with:", select "Homepage"

There is an icon on the right side of the address bar that looks like a boat.

There is an icon on the right side of the address bar that is not the favicon or the search icon, it doesn't do anything when i click on it. I just want to know what it is and what it does.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+a+previous+version+of+Firefox

Why can I no longer just type the name of a site in the address bar and be taken straight to it?

Now instead of being taken to the site I get taken to a google search result. It was such a convenient feature...is there something I need to change settings wise?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use custom settings for history"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from "Permanent Private Browsing mode" -> place CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Safari crashes when editing the address bar

I'm running Safari 3.2. Whenever I try to input text in the address bar, Safari stops responding and I have to Force Quit. Everything else seems to be working normally. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,
With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache
A disk utility can help you do maintenance to keep Safari functioning as it should, here are several to look at:
Onyx, is free and available here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070&vid=476445&mode=info
MacJanitor is good also: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10491
I suggest downloading from Version Tracker so you can view the Reviews/Customer Feedback and make a decision based on the information provided by users.
If you install Onyx, run the Maintenance and Cleaning scripts and reboot.
Also, make sure you have enough available disk space. Select your MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, press Command + I which will prompt the Get Info window. Where it says: General click the black arrow so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available Never allow the available disk space to fall below 15% of the total drive, 20% is better. Not enough free drive space will slow your Mac down, cause apps to crash and freeze... hence the spinning beach ball.

Can not copy a URL from the address bar/line

Why is it proving so difficult for me to copy a URL from the address bar using Safari? When I click on the link I want to copy, it does not highlight. I have used Command L and Command C, and that works but there has to be a simpler way. I also read that if I click the address bar once, then press the control key and click on it again that a menu would appear with cut, paste, copy. That does happen, but all options are greyed out, and not selectable. Another google search resulted in someone saying there was a button or arrow to click on and that this tool would copy the URL.
The URL I am copying is very long, longer that the address bar window
What Gives Here?

Click the icon (favicon) to the left of the URL.
That will select the entire URL.
Command C will copy the URL.

How to change the default BC image that shows in the address bar?

Does anyone know how to change the default BC image that shows in the address bar? I want to swap it out so the client logo shows next to their URL.
Thank you!

Hi,
If you are trying to change the favicon for your site,
You can do it from Site Manager-> Page template -> Default Template
Look for the code <link type="image/x-icon" href="/Path for your image" rel="icon" />, and Click save.
Now where you will use this template, it will display your favicon for that webpage instead of BC favicon. You can define it on Page directly if you are not going to use template.
Please let me know if you have any doubt.

Firefox update 23.0.1, no longer automatically highlights the address bar content when I open a new tab.

The above. When I opened a new tab in the past, before the new update, firefox would automatically highlight the text in the address bar, and I could simply start typing from there the address of the site I wanted. I could quickly get to anywhere I wanted in less than a second. Now, I have to drag and click into the address bar every time. I installed an add-on called "custom newtab" but it just slows me down further due to a lag between the opening of a new tab, and the add-on kicking in and highlighting the address bar content.
What happens is this:
Click "new tab"
New tab opens blank and the text appears highlighted "google.co.uk" for about a quarter second.
Page loads Google and the highlighted text becomes unhighlighted for another quarter second.
Add-on kicks in and highlights the text "google.co.uk" meanwhile I've already begun typing and end up losing the first part of the words, sending me to random web pages and searches.
Why did this change?! Fix it please!

YES!! Thank you jscher2000! You sir are a legend. Thanks for this, changed the newtaburl in about:config, totally worked. Nope, never saw it happening! Speedy machine this one :P Yep, that change completely sorted the issue, just opened about 741 new tabs through the shortcut on my mouse just to celebrate. Thanks guys who helped, no thanks those who didn't.

How do I turn off that silly flash warning where the favicon is suppoed to be in the address bar

I recently noticed that the powers that be at Mozilla are now dumbing down firefox to the level of AOL. They added a new 'protect me from myself' feature where there is a little icon in the address bar next to where the favicon is supposed to be that warns about a page using flash. REALLY? You think users are THAT stupid? How do I turn that off. It is so silly and stupid.
BTW, PLEASE stop going down that path. The main reason FF has been superior is that it didn't try to warn me about every little thing on line and protect me from mys elf at every nook and cranny. Crap if you are going to continue this route why not make us type every single character three time and they confirm it with a yes/no dialog so we will be safe???

Are there any messages about this plugin in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins or on the about:plugins page?
This icon at least let you see that plugins are present. If you set the default action to always activate then the plugin shouldn't be blocked.

I am unable to open press enter in the address bar and have to click return with the mouse

So when i open a new session of firefox/new window/new tab and click to type in the address bar, firefox will not allow me to hit return/enter to load the page. I have to manually click on the return icon to get the page to load. I have tried using a different keyboard but this does not help. This only occurs within the address bar not within any other part of the page or within any other program. please help

the it was the avg safe search that was causing the issue. Thanks for the help.
