How to restore missing bookmarks icons after system reinstall?

After reinstalling my system (Win 7 x64) and downloading the latest Nightly build of Firefox, logging in to Sync and syncing my bookmarks, I discovered that the icons are missing (white square with gray outline). After visiting a web page, the icon is set back to normal. The problem is, that I have lots of bookmarks, and it would take an enormous amount of time to visit every page. And on the second hand, with icons its easier to access bookmarks.

I don't think you can, you'd have to revisit every website.

  • How to restore old prefs, etc after clean reinstall of 10.3.9?

    Due to a fiasco with Drive Genius I was forced to reformat and reinstall 10.3.9. Luckly, I was bright enough to manually copy over the entire contents of the drive to a firewire drive before I started the drive genius project.
    I was able to find directions on how to restore my users which worked perfectly.
    I've copied all the apps back. But all the apps were in the main drive rather than in users, so the prefs, registrations etc are, I assume, stored in the old library.
    Is there a way to replace the new library with the original to avoid several days work digging out the original packaging to get the serial numbers for re-entering so I can get back to work right away?

    The serial #s, etc were in fact in the original main library. I was able to restore the use of all the programs by manually replacing the missing items in each folder in the library. It took over an hour, but I got it all back and saved me from having to rummage through storage boxes for the original documentation to retrieve and re-enter all the info.

  • Missing bookmark icons after trying FF4.0 and reverting to FF3.6

    I tried upgrading to FF4.0, did not like it as not compatible with Norton toolbar, and then reverted back to FF3.6 and now all bookmarks are without their original icons. I only have a "blank page" icon against the text of my bookmarks.

    Credit Tony E
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

  • How to restore safari bookmarks after osi update

    how to restore safari bookmarks after ios. update

    The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
    If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
    Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
    Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
    If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
    In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.

  • How to restore the application icon

    I need to know how to restore the application icon back to my Macbook.  I need to download firefox and can not do so becuase the application icon is not showing up. 

    In the first place, the Firefox installer has an alias to the Applications folder in its window - you simply drag the fox icon onto that.
    I'm assuming that the missing icon you're looking for is the one from the Dock?
    If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, find the Applications folder and drag it into the Dock (to the right of the line), being careful not to release the mouse until the other icons move aside for it. If you do that right, the Applications folder will remain in Macintosh HD, and you'll have shiny new alias to it in the Dock.

  • How to restore views and procedures after drop user command?

    How to restore views and procedures after drop user command?
    We have 817 EE on NT and one developer created a lot of procedures, functions and vews. DB was not backuped and archived and export has not been done - our fault and we understand it. Sorry for this.
    Ok, now the story: another developer dropped this db user and we lost everything: procedures, functions and vews. The new user with trhe same name was created and new schema was imported in this user, but all old objects are lost. We don't have export and backup and archive log files.
    Question: may we can restore this lost stuff from some other sources. We are looking for lost codes, not data. May be we can use redo logs or shared pool or any other things. Any idea will be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Victor
    [email protected]

    The switch has occurred after user was dropped, the data has been overwritten and there is be no way to use redo log files.
    I would like to explore another opportunity. Is possible to use Shared Pool or any Data Dictionary internal information to restore texts of the lost SQL and PL/SQL scripts executed in this DB before user was dropped? Not too many scripts are executed in this DB and the lost ones may still be in stack. I remember that Shared Pool (cash) should keep last executed scripts in order to improve performance. They probably are kept in some special format. Can we restore these scripts? Of course they also might be pushed out by Import that had been done after user was dropped.
    Thanks for your help,
    Victor

    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.

    If you pasted the new icons in the Get Info window, you just have to select the icons in this window and either cut them or deleted them with the Backspace key.

  • How do I restore preferences/bookmarks/etc after clean OS install?

    I decided to do a clean install of Snow Leopard because my computer was really slow. I was able to get back my mp3's and documents by dragging them out of my external drive, but I can't figure out how to get my bookmark, keychains and preferences etc back. I already tried Migration Asst, nothing really happened.
    Thank you!

    This is the iMac G5 forum. You don't have one of those, so I'd advise posting either in the iMac Intel forum or the Snow Leopard forum.

    "Nothing really happened." When you do post this again, you'll need to give more information: how did you use MA and what did you select to transfer over? Be sure to describe your procedure and the results in more detail.

  • Hello, I need to know how to restore my Bookmarks that have disappeared .. Thank you

    Hello, I have noticed that my Firefox has been crashing quite often over the last 2 weeks. Now as of this morning my several Book Marks that I use daily have disappeared ... Please help me to restore this .
    Awaiting a response
    Thank you

    First, you need to update to a more Recent version of Firefox. Download Firefox 15.0.1 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
    Then, after that, read [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]

  • Missing Bookmark Icons

    Hi,
    I've recently been having a few problems with Safari (spinning beachball and freezing).
    After a recent force quit I noticed that some of my my bookmark icons arn't showing up. This is very annoying for me as I use these a lot when visiting my favorites.(I realize that most people get annoyed by HAVING icons!)
    Anyway, I miss them and want them back..... any Ideas?
    Ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello kez:
    First, I would try to determine what is causing your performance problems.
    Run repair disk from your software install DVD
    Clear the Safari cache.
    Close Safari, trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist), restart, and enter your personal preferences.
    Trash the favicon file to clear out any problems there (~library>safari>icons). When you visit a web page for the first time, the favicon (if there is one) will be stored.

  • How do I retrieve 'bookmark" icons which have disappeared?

    In FF30,how do I bookmark a site (add a bookmark) when the two relevant icons have disappeared. There is a bookmark icon in the menu list. It shows the current bookmark list. I did add a new folder, but could find no way to add a book mark.

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
    *You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
    It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.
