FF8.0 on iMac is losing bookmark Icons for websites one at a time

Updated to FF8 on my iMac this morning ( OS 10.6 Snow Leopard ). I immediately noticed that the mini-Icons for websites were disappearing from the Bookmarks menu and the main URL address bar as each website/bookmark was visited.
I like those icons and would likely revert to FF7 to get them back

How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
Please help!

Hi haweyext,
Did you see this thread from yesterday:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
Does any of that help?

When I hover over the Bookmark Icon for a few seconds it won't work but when I go straight to the icon and click on it, it will work. Running windows 7

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

# Question
For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions?

I had to contact Canon Tech Support and had to re load the driver softwear using the OS X 10.7 choice, since the 10.8 choice is not there yet. Also had to download the opener and after 45 minutes I had solved the problem. The steps are too many to go into all the details but that is the genral idea. It should work for others.

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

RoboHelp 10 - Is it possible to change the TOC icon for just one "book" in the TOC. See the attached screen shot.

In my current Help project, I have one set of topics that are specific to use of our product in one country. I would like to change the TOC icon for the specific book without changing all of the "purple book" icons.
Thanks.

Whether you can do this depends on how much time you are willing to invest. The easy answer is 'no'.
Having said that, it is possible to change the script to change the icon for a specific page. For this, you need to change the output files and you must create an exception to the regular mechanism. Best of all, you need to hard code the topic title/url to do this. This is a typical case of 'I offer consultancy for these kinds of things'. PM me if you want to know more.
Kind regards,
Willam

The bookmark icons for specific sites are gone. How do I get them back.

The text of the bookmark is ok, but the little icon is a blank box. What happened?

Do you still see the favicon on the Tab bar if you open such a bookmark in a Firefox tab?
Websites that do not have a favicon show an empty square instead in current Firefox versions.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Why is Firefox 5 not storing bookmark ICONS for some (many) web sites?

Since installing FF5 some sites do not have their icons stored in the bookmarks, for example:
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/
http://arstechnica.com/
Even though the site icon displays in the address bar. Seems like a bug. I do have FlashGot, AdBlock & Ghost installed, but I can't see why they would affect this. Many sites still work OK, eg:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/
Stopping and restarting doesn't fix the issue. Thanks & regards, Mick.

You seem to have the general.useragent.override pref set to an empty string.<br />
You can reset that pref to the default via the right-click context menu to remove that override.

Imac constantly losing and searching for internet although wifi on and connected

Frenquently my iMac loses connectivity with the internet; when I run diagnostic, the wifi is on and the settings are good, but no connectivity to internet. I then run the entire diagnostics and it will reconnect until I lose it again. Is it possible to just delete all my previous network settings and start over; will that help.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail? I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem. The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8. I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed. Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set. I have a Mobile Me account. Any suggestions?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Multiple icons for mailboxes, one per account?

Hi. I'm new to the iPhone and these boards have been (as usual) incredibly helpful for getting me situated with my latest Apple toy/life-changing device. Here's something I haven't found an answer for here--but then again, I'm not sure if I'm even wording it properly.
I have 2 e-mail accounts, one for work, the other for home. When I look at my home screen, and see that I have a new message, I can't tell which mailbox it is in. Is there a way that I can do that? Can I, for example, put up 2 icons, one per mail account? Or is there something that would differentiate which mailbox has which (i.e. a different color or a couple of bubbles with numbers; I'm thinking of that software Dockstar that I've seen for Mac Mail)?
Thanks!!

Sorry, that is not an iPhone feature. I agree it would be useful. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Is it possible to change the app icon for websites?

Hi,
I have created a web shortcut to my home screen, at the moment the icon defaults to a shot of the web page (although very small) and was wondering if it was possible to change the app icon ?

Yes, if you can upload an icon to the webpage and change the HTML:

Custom home screen icon for a webapp.. just like Google - How?

I noticed that when you add Google to your home screen it displays a custom icon.. not an image of the website like other sites. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do this for my own webapps. I searched through the Google.com source code but didn't find anything that appeared to have anything to do with that icon.
Hopefully this is possible for developers. Right now most of my icons are all white and its hard to distinguish which is which without reading the text below it.

Found it on the iPhone web dev page..
iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.
