How do I get the website icon to stay on the desktop?

When I save a webpage to my desktop, via "drag webpage address to desktop", the website icon is replaced by a mozilla icon.

You can try to toggle the browser.shell.shortcutFavicons pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • How do I get the website icons to be in the bookmark entry?

    The bookmark sidebar used to automatically insert the website icon in front of the bookmark entry for most sites. I upgraded to Firefox 9 and now it doesn't seem to do this even for sites that used to get the entry. How do I make the icon attach itself to the entry? Maxine r.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    You can try the CheckPlaces another time after you've deleted the places files and that still didn't bring the favicons back.

  • 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.

  • I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?

    I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?  Thanks to you from the UnTechie

    The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
    You cannot reverse the upgrade.

  • How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

    How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

    I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\

  • How do I get the speaker icon to STAY in my system tray?

    How do I get the speaker icon to STAY in my system tray?  Every time I mute the speakers, the icon disappears from my system tray.  I have a very difficult time getting it back, and I can never remember how I do it.  Can someone give me some helpful, easy to remember steps on how to KEEP the sound/volume icon in my system tray?  Thanks.

    I did what you said.  There is not a "system icons to always show".  What it does say is "turn system icons on or off".  The one for the sound icon is greyed out and CANNOT be clicked on.  This happens every time I mute the speakers.  
    So, how do I get it back?

    In the menu that said "turn system icons on or off", try clicking on the blue writing on the bottom left of that menu that says "restore default icon behaviors".

    how do i get my desk top icons to stay at the bottom of screen

    Are you referring to the Dock?
    If so, go to the Apple menu > Dock and select "Turn hiding off".
    If you are referring to individual icons on the Dock, right-click or Control-click on the icon, and in the Options submenu in the popup that appears, select "Keep in Dock".

  • The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away

    The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
    Thanks for the help.
    Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!

    If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad.   Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?  
    Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch.  If so, you need to somehow indent it.
    Try a reboot.  Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.

  • I want the website icon, not the Firefox icon on my desktop.

    When I create a shortcut on my desktop I get the Firefox icon, not the website icon, which is the icon I want for easy and quick identification. How can I EASILY get rid of the Firefox icon and replace it with the website icon?

    Please do not dig up old threads about this issue.
    You have read that Firefox doesn't do that and that you need to change the icon of the default browser that such a link gets to the website's favicon yourself if you are not satisfied with the default icon. You have to change the icon via the Properties of the shortcut. You can usually save the favicon via the "Firefox/Tools > Page Info > Media" window.

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • How do you get a website to open in it's own 'app' instead of safari tab

    Something I have noticed with the iPad that it is possible for webpages to run as if they are in their own app.
    For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc. Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
    My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
    Would really like to get this working on some of my sites so if anyone has any ideas would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    No, what you're seeing is the actual webpage

    Actually, it does. Or should do, ay least. It does for me

    That's correct

    The site doesn't do it. Safari does it. All you have on your Home screen is the iPad equivalent of a webloc, a small text snippet containing the URL for whatever page you saved.
