Favicons in Safari Favorites Bar?

Has Safari support ever responded to the questions/comments about using website Favicons in Favorites Bar? I am heading back to Chrome in the meantime.

At present in Safari 7, there is no way to add favicons to Bookmarks placed in the Favorites bar itself.
If you place the Bookmark in a folder and place the folder in the Favorites bar, Bookmarks
listed in it will show the favicons.
Best.

Can not delete Fox news icon from Safari Favorites Bar, keeps coming back

I can not delete "Fox news" icon from Safari Favorites Bar. Dogpile Search engine also. Both keep coming back with icons upon new opening of Safari.
I have removed these icons from the Book Mark files and Favorites Bar menu and any reference in the LIbrary and replaced them with less spammy evercookie news and search engines 3 times to no avail. I just upgraded Safari (April 2014) and it made no difference. These sites represent the paradigm I
no longer am putting energy into nor want which is why I have rid these increasing more corrupted and cookie agressive sites. But now.....
they won't let me go!! Any one no how?

Thank you for trying but no not the problem. Had the same problem with Iphone 4S. Would not connect to my mail server and tried to send me to fraudulent website in the UK/England.
I did a restore to factory restore to the phone with upgrade to newest operating system, my was up to date until OS 7 as I heard there were problems. Now it has OS 7.
Neither I nor verizon could get the phone up and connected for service again. Taking phone to
apple store on Tues.
I am suspecting the "heart bleed" vulnerability.

Can I have my Safari Favorites bar back?

Safari no longer has a Favorites bar. A side column of bookmarks is NOT a "bar" and takes up space in the window. If I want a full-sized window but want to access my Favorites, I have to keep clicking back and forth to get the Favorites to show up. Is there a way to get the Favorites back in a true top Bar? If not, can Apple make this an option in future upgrades? This is a step backward IMO.

Favorites should be available in full screen mode if that is what you are are referring to.
"Favorites back in a true top Bar?"
The top bar is referred to as the title bar, not Favorites.
Troubleshoot Safari extensions and third party plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

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?

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.

Safari 8 Favorites bar contextual menu missing?

I used to be able to right click on a blank spot on the favorites bar in Safari and it would give me the option to add a folder. Did this get removed from Safari 8 or am I missing something?

Hi ..
Try this instead.
From the Safari menu bar click Bookmarks > Add Bookmark Folder

I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

I wish to remove "Show sidebar" and "Show Top Sites" from the Favorites Bar in Safari 7.0. How may I do so?

I aggree It's rather annoying that you can't remove these features when like me you never use them, however by far the most annoying part of this is that when you go into 'Customize Toolbar' you can actually add yet a second 'Show Top Sites' feature to the toolbar !! Even those people who actually want to use this feature don't require two of them. For crying-out-loud come on Apple, this has to be a joke right?!?

10.9.2 update replaces safari favorites bookmark bar

Since updating a few days I've had the problem of an old favorites bar appearing in Safari each time I restart my Mac. Each time I've had to restore the bookmarks.plist from a former time machine backup, but I'd like not to have to do that each time.
Can anyone tell me why that happens, and, more importantly, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Patrick

I disabled the auto-updates after the second auto-update yesterday (and after the Time Machine restore to 10.9.1). The update had already been downloaded prior to that. Apps started nagging me this morning about the update - again. There is no "cancel" option, all I do is click on "Remind me tomorrow". I suspect it will install it again anyway in the days ahead, or I may go ahead and do the update and see if the nav bar is still there given the Preferences > General fix. Thanks.

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.

How do I get rid of the favorites bar listing on the left of my screen

Click the Book icon in the Favorites/Bookmarks bar.

How to disable Top sites icon in Favorites bar?

I have upgraded to Mavericks and there are two issues that make me regret the move. The first is small sounding but it makes me so angry I can't see straigh. In a Google sort of way, the new version of Safari foists upon me that miserable button - the top sites icon - as if to say "haa haa ... we know what is good for you". I want it gone! It used to be an option you could uncheck in the preferences ... but unless I'm missing something (I sure hope so!) Apple decided we should not have the option. Please tell me there is some way to get rid of the icon ... and better yet to disable somehow the whole top sites thing. I despise it, and I despise that someone tells me what I must have and how to work.
The second thing is the bookmark sidebar. I've always like how it works in safari. Now for some reason, as oposed to before, when you have the side bar slide into place so that you can select the bookmark - it stays there! Why? I want it to disapear after I click on a bookmark as it always has. I don't want to click again each time to make it go away. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior? This was in the beta of mavericks and I was not going to upgrade over the "feature". In the demo however I caught that a presenter clicked ... and the bar slid away, the way I would like it to. Now that I have mavericks ... it does not work as in the demo on stage.
So ... anyone ... is there a way for me to fix these two irritations?
I'm going to wait a month or so to see how Mavericks direction develops. I've always disliked Chrome because I don't trust they security and their proclivity towards tracking. I haven't cared for Firefox much neither ... mostly due to the way they render fonts. I will not use Safari if I can't change both of these features ... so I guess (because I suspect it is a case where apple knows what is good for me) that I won't be able to set up safari to not annoy me ... so my last questions is a recomendation for a replacement browser. What are your favorite browsers aside from Safari?
Thanks.

Well after a few more days with Mavericks I have to say I'm fairly impressed with it. Both laptops seem to have better battery life, and ... is it my imagination ... but they seem faster too? Not bad.
On the Safari problem I have, so far, made no headway, so I would be grateful for anyone who can come up with an answer. Perhaps the drawer sliding out and then back after you click your bookmark has a command line solution? I wonder how to investigate that?
As slick as Safari is (It has long been my favorite browser) I've been looking for a replacement. I won't consider Crome because of the afforementioned Google practice of monetizing "us' and our data. I don't trust em!
I dowloaded Opera ... and found that they have the same ideas in spades, about Top sites, that Apple seems to be adopting. What a shame ... and a no-go.
Then I started a trial with iCab. Now that is one nice browser! First impression are very possitive but there is the same top sites icon sitting there, with no obvious way to zap it. WHAT is going on ... does everyone havet to jump on the same (often hated) feature? I sent an email to the developer, expecting little but hoping just a bit anyways. Guess what? About forty five minutes later I received a reply. Wow, now that is nice!
My first impressions of iCab are very positive. I, however have the
same problem. There is a top sites right in the favorites bar. Can
this be disabled? I have not yet found a way to do this.
You can turn off this icon in iCab. Please enter "settings:" (without the
quote characters, but including the colon) in the URL field and hit the
"return" key. This will open some additional settings where you can configure
some more stuff. In the section "favorites toolbar" there's a setting to
show or hide the TopTen icon in the favorites toolbar. Just switch this
option off and click on the "Save Settings" button.
Alexander Clauss
..... So problem avoided. I'm going to spend the twenty dollars to register iCab even though one does not really need to. With responsiveness like this ... well, I want to keep it.
So that is my progress up until now. Not much on the original quest ... if you count nothing+hope as merely "not much". Still hoping. But having choices such as iCab and probably others ... sure did make me less grumpy.
I know I should perhaps just chill out. Life would sure be a bit easier if I had it in me to not care about these little details, I know. Having it perfect, perfectly elegant and perfectly customizable - that's tough.
On the other hand. This is Apple. Isn't it?
Cheers!

How do I make all of the images of the icons show in Safari Favorites?

I am running the Yosemite Safari and when I click the Favorites bar some of the links don't have the images (look at attached photo). How can I make the image for the website appear?
See how the Gmail, Youtube, Google, Google News all don't have icons? Thank you for your help!

Try emptying caches.
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    Delete Caches.db
    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown.
   Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
   Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
   Close windows and relaunch Safari.

Anyone else have the favorites bar showing up on iPhone?

I Have looked all over to see if anybody else is having this same issue, but have found nothing. I have a very annoying issue where the favorites bar (also called the bookmarks bar) that is in Safari on the desktop or on the iPad in landscape mode, showing up on my iPhone (only in landscape). I have the 6+, running 8.1, and I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be there, because as I scroll down, and it goes into full screen, the text from the bar is persistent and is clickable. this also causes an issue where the selectable items on websites become off. I click buttons and nothing happens, but if I tap off to the side of it, then the button would work. I've added a screenshot

It looks like something happened to the pictures. (they were working) So i'll but them back up. also I have more news on this issue. I am able to reproduce the issue if I open safari on my iPhone while my iPhone is in landscape mode. If I open safari in portrait mode, then turn it to landscape mode, the favorites bar will not show up. I also think this might be somehow connected to how I set up my iPhone when I first got it. I did not have an iPhone before I got the 6+, but i did have an iPad mini running IOS 8. I "restored" my phone from an iPad backup. In the iPad, it has the option to use favorites bar in safari, and I did have that turned on. I'm not 100% sure this is the cause of my issue, but it something to look at if anybody else is having this issue. Because the iPhone is not supposed to support the favorites bar in safari, there is not way of turning off the favorites bar in the settings. I still have no current way of fixing the problem, But i was just sharing my findings and thoughts.
