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 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.

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

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed

The font in Safari's bookmarks bar and tabs bar has suddenly changed to a lighter font. How do I change the font back? I'm not speaking of the font size/type in the web browser in viewing web pages, but the font in the application itself has changed. It's rather annoying and would like to be able to change it back! I'm running Safari v5.1.7

OK, Margie, here's what to do . . .
First Quit Safari.
Then Find your User's (Home) folder library.
It's hidden, but here's how you find the Home Library:
Click on the desktop to get the Finder menu. Then go up to "Go" in the menu bar, while holding down the option key.
You'll now see the User Library in the drop down list. Open it, then look for the Fonts folder.
Take the fonts folder to the desktop.
Restart Safari.
Any better?
(Warning: This is only for the Users/Home > Library > Fonts folder. Under no circumstances, should this be done with the SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder.)

I need a lesson on how to use my 'favorites' bar on IPad w/iOS 7.

I have turned on the 'show favorites bar' in settings.
When I open Safari I see the 'favorites' bar ....but....when I tap on one it does not go to the site.
Instead it shows a tab with a name in it and if I tap on that name nothing happens.
How do I add to the favorites bar?
How do I delete from it?
Should I be able to tap on one of the listed favorites and go to the website?
I have tried rebooting.
I have tried powering everything off and resetting.
Neither helped.
HHEEEELLLLPPP,!!

Regardless of whether this bar is displayed or not, you should be able to access what is in the "Favourites" folder in a few ways.
Firstly via the Bookmarks link in Safari. This is the first icon directly to the right of the address bar. Pressing this will open your Bookmarks menu. If you see the word Bookmarks in blue select this and it will take you to the main bookmarks page, and the word Bookmarks will appear in black bold text. If you see Bookmarks in black bold text when first clicking Bookmarks you are where you need to be. The first link on here will be Favourites and have a star icon right next to it, click on Favourites and you will see what has been added to your Favourites folder - if anything. Also there is an Edit button in the bottom right of this screen, if you aren't going where you expected when selecting a URL in here press Edit, press the > arrow to the right of the favourite name, is the URL correct? If not change it, and click DONE on the keyboard - appears where Return key normally shows on the right-hand side.
If you are opening Safari and have no tabs already open or have already closed pages so none are open you will see icons that represent the contents of your Favourites folder displayed at the top of the page.
Also with a page loaded if you click in to the URL field then you will see these icons appear again, together with the keyboard at the bottom of the page.
Hope this helps.

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.

How can I edit and delete IOS 7 IPAD safari favorites?

In IOS7/Ad safari, how can I edit or delete safari favorites?
Thanks!
Alan

Thank you so much! This solved my problem.
I wish Apple made this sort of thing more accessible in its documentation somewhere. I Google'd extensively but was unable to find anything relevant.
Thanks much again!
Alan
P.S. -- I assume there's no way to delete multiple bookmarks/favorites simultaneously (I did it one at a time)...

Under Bookmarks, suddenly 30 listings for identical Bookmarks Bar folder and 30 for identical Favorites Bar folder. I still can't delete them.

My desktop and laptop are synched. Both have Bookmarks Bar 30x, and Favorites Bar 30x, and can't delete. There was no file like the one suggested earlier, as a fix. Please advise as to my options, I have to scroll for miles before I can get to my Bookmark listings.

You need to disconnect the computer from the Sync server before trying to repair the bookmarks.
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

How do I keep my edits in favorites bar?

My favorites bar keeps reverting to an old set of bookmarks after I edit it. Might happen any time. Takes new bookmarks but keeps showing those I deleted from the f bar. ??? For example, after I edit the f bar to show just the bookmarks I go to most often -- eg, Google or a work webpage -- it will hold those edits for a while, even thru shut downs and restarts, but then suddenly will show all the old bookmarks I'd deleted before. Any new bookmarks I added to the f bar show up at the end. Doesn't matter if I delete the oldies by dragging them off the bar, or opening 'edit bookmarks' from the bookmarks menu. Surprisingly aggravating! thanks all.

Maybe you have the same "misunderstanding" as I had: (After successful sync) the links from the OSX Favorite Bar now show up in "Bookmarks - Favorites" (top entry in the list, quoted with a star) AND inside the window when opening a new tab.
This was different in a former iOS, I'm positive!

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.
