Displaying Favicons on Safari

There are one reason left for me to not to use Safari. Safari getting faster and faster.
I do not use names for my favorites especially the ones in bookmark bar. Because favicons tell me what really are.
Do we really need to read the name of the bookmark?
Do we really need to waste the valuable space on bookmarks bar?
Here is the screenshot of Chrome & Safari bookmarks bar.
I'm afraid only Chrome give my time back.
There must be an extention, tweak or any other solution for that.
Any clue?

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
It may take a day or two for your webpagicons to re populate.

  • Search box not displaying correctly in Safari

    How can the search bar on the Apple site not display correctly in Safari? I find this odd that Apple would allow this. It displays like 2 search boxes overlapping each other. It still functions correctly but it is a little embarrassing since I am always bashing windows pro browser display.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Might be a corrupted cache or cookies issue. First, go to Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. Type Apple in the Spotlight panel. Highlight/remove the cookies. Then, go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Try the Apple site.
    If the double search panel still appears, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Caches. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari file. Restart Safari and try the Apple site again.

  • Thumbnails are not displayed correctly in Firefox, but displayed correctly in Safari and G. Chrome

    Firefox display problems regarding this customers site:

    Thumbnails are not displayed correctly in Firefox - only a tiny bit of the picture is visible, incorrect scale (displayed correctly in Safari and Google Chrome).
    Can I do anything to make it work in Firefox, too?

  • Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

    Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?
    Thanks,
    -flash

    Hello Flash, welcome to Apple discussions; )
    Look for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic Fonts, if you have them,
    they can be the usual suspects.
    Check the Text encoding in both Safari & FF, under the "View" menu.
    In System preferences-> Personal (top section) in Appearance tab->
    on the last portion of the panel Font smoothing Style: set that to Automatic
    If those don't help, see this users tip excellent article Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
    Look into this application to find any corrupt font[s]Font Finagler
    Good luck, let us know how you fare.

  • Photo page won't display properly in safari

    Hi everyone!
    I'm completely new to building websites and need some of your expert advice?
    For some reason my photo pages won't display properly in Safari but ok in Firefox?
    It worked fine a week ago and I can't think what I've done wrong since I republished last night?
    http://www.abeledo.talktalk.net/losavellanos/House.html
    Can anyone help?
    I'll buy you a pint!
    Cheers

    No luck unfortunately.
    I changed the background to a solid and made the changes that you suggested roddy, but neither seemed to work. I know I must be doing something wrong? Do the photos appear ok with you roddy? All I see, is half the page i.e nav bar, top image, 'the house & garden etc text and top half of the darker box where the thumbnails should appear. And this happens with all 3 photo pages currently on the site.

    I've been clearing my cache in both browsers every time I republish.
    I've also tried upgrading to the new 3.0.3 beta Safari? You'd think - out of all the browsers- iWeb would work seamlessly with Safari wouldn't you? - Firefox is fine.
    Do you think I should start from scratch?

  • Image layouts display differently in Safari than in Explorer

    I have noticed that web page images display differently in Safari than in Explorer on a PC. On a PC, the web page may display three images side by side. In Safari, I might get two images side by side and the theid image below. Is there any correction for this? Thanks.

  • Strange display fonts in Safari...

    What would account for fonts not displaying correctly in Safari? Sometimes sections of a web page appear as jumbled, random characters. Often, it will only be headlines, while the body copy displays correctly. I have my display fonts set to Helvetica and the Encoding set to Western (ISO Latin 1).
    Does this have to do with a conflict of another Helvetica with the System Helvetica dfont?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Actually I tacked on to this thread because the symtom was the same. I have very few fonts installed.
    in Classic's /System Folder/Fonts:
    - Chicago
    - Courier (Type 1)
    - Geneva
    - Helvetica (Type 1)
    - Symbol (Type 1)
    - Verdana
    In /Library/Fonts: None
    In /System/Library/Fonts:
    - Keyboard.dfont
    - LastResort.dfont
    - LucicaGrande.dfont
    - Monaco.dfont
    - Some Asian fonts
    In ~/Library/Fonts
    - MS PMincho.ttf
    - MT Extra
    - QuickBooks Fonts
    - Monotype Sorts
    - MS Gothic.ttf
    - MS Mincho.ttf
    - MS PGothic.ttf
    Finally, via Suitcase, I have enabled:
    - Arial
    - Arial Narrow
    - Times
    - Times New Roman
    - Courier New
    But I've worked like this for a couple of years, with this small start-up set, then enabling what I need in Suitcase, as disabling fonts is key to my work, and I've not had this problem before, even when duplicates existed. I had some VPN and BlueTooth bugs I could not fix, so I backed up my system, reinstalled, and then had the font problem. (But VPN and BlueTooth work okay.)
    Additionally, the HTML tags PRE and ADDRESS also give the garbage results, even though the typical default for these is Courier New, and it's enabled.

  • Flash files not displaying in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Most recent Shockwave installed, private b

    Flash files not displaying in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Most recent Shockwave installed, private browsing active in Firefox?  Works perfectly in Chrome and Internet Explorer.  HELP!!!!

    I suppose it would have helped if you knew what it was supposed to look like!   I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169  and the version of Firefox I'm on is 20.0
    When you see it in Firefox  - do the thumbnail populate the grid?  See attached populated and un-populated.
    Populated grid is with Chrome.
    Thanks!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Webpage displays differently in safari

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble getting my website to display correctly in safari. It's fine in chrome and firefox but for some reason not safari. Thi is how  it is supposed to look:
    whereas this is how it displays in safari:
    the site is located at http://www.shanghainightsbristol.co.uk/shanghai-new/
    any help would be muc appreciated!
    thanks,
    Chris.

    WTF? I'm confused - why are you using the image below to get a white background in the .middlecontent-back <div>?????
    http://www.shanghainightsbristol.co.uk/shanghai-new/whiteback.png
    If you want a white back just add background-color: #FFF; (as below) and comment out the background image as shown:
    .middlecontent-back {
        width: 1020px;
        height: 777px;
        float: left;
        /* background: url(http://www.shanghainightsbristol.co.uk/shanghai-new/whiteback.png) repeat-x #FFF;*/
        background-color: #FFF;
        margin-top:25px;
        margin-bottom:25px;

  • After installing IOS6: after erasing the history of Safari, the next time I fire up Safari, I see a split-second of the last displayed screen of Safari. Not a big issue but it should not be that way.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Favicons in safari

    I see that there are other threads about favicons in safari bookmark bar instead of text, but they all seem to say that it's not possible.
    I found this links that shows that it should be possible with Glims, but I cannot get it to work myself.
    anyone knows about this?
    http://forums.everythingicafe.com/threads/neat-safari-add-on-gives-your-tabs-fav icons-works-nicely-in-tandem-with-emoji-bookmarks.104113/

    Glims can do what you want but it has been known to cause Safari to crash.
    Install >  Glims for Safari | www.MacHangout.com
    If you have problems >  How do I uninstall Glims? | www.MacHangout.com
    If webpage icons are that important to you, and Glims doesn't work for you, use the Firefox browser.
    Firefox loads webpage icons automatically instead of text. No third party add on is necessary.

  • What's happened to the favicon in Safari 8?

    What's happened to the favicon in Safari 8?.... I have a lot of tabs open and it was easy to navigate to the ones you wanted because they were easily recognisable... now they're all grey text; couldn't see anything in preferences.

  • HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0  The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Help me, please.

    OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0 
    The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\.  However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome.  I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript.  Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version.   Help me, please.

    The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
    If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
    Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
    Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
    I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

  • Safari not displaying favicons

    My Safari won't display any favicons. Does anyone know an answer to this problem? All I get is the generic globe thing. Even if I bookmark them.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem. It all started when I ran Cache Out X (which I have done before without this problem occuring).

  • Firefox not displaying favicon/.ico file for specific website

    Firefox has always displayed the favicon for my website, until recently. Now there is just a blank space where the favicon should be. I am able to see the favicon for all other websites except my own. It is a wordpress site, so I followed their most recent instructions for adding a favicon. I even tried some other guidelines and tips for adding .ico files, just in case wordpress was missing something, but still no luck. I have double-checked the file format as a 16x16px .ico file and made sure the code & image location within my website directory was correct... Everything looks as it should. The favicon is displaying perfectly in all other browsers I tried, such as Chrome, Safari, Opera & IE. I have cleared my cache, cleared my browser history and even uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. I also tried another computer using a different IP address. It just isn't displaying.
    When I preview the .ico file under 'page info -> media' it looks like Firefox is locating the image and recognizing the file dimensions, but nothing appears in the preview window and under 'file size' it just says "unknown (not cached)."
    Here is the link to the site: http://www.mattielynn.com/
    Does anyone know why this might be happening?

    That image doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3 and 8 (works in Firefox 9 and later).
    It works if I save it as 24 bit instead of 32 bit.
