Is it possible to change my bookmark icon like I can in Internet Explorer, if not can this be a future enhancement?

I utilize the bookmark toolbar to quickly access Internet and Intranet sites easily. When I've set these up in Internet Explorer I am able to change the icon that is displayed to what I want. With Firefox, there does not appear to be an option for this. Most bookmarks appear without any icon. This makes it difficult to identify the correct bookmark visually. Is there a way to do this? If not, I would request that this be a future enhancement.

you can actually try this addon to create some icons : [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/identfavicon/ bookmarks]

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:

XML Changer doesn't work in Firefox works in Internet Explorer

Hi
Can anyone help me i have a XML Changer doesn't work in Firefox works in Internet Explorer.
I have posted the page here http://www.endeavourcfl.co.nz/Venues.html as you can see my other flash files work fine, it is only the XML Changer (no pictures appear at all), it was working previously but for some reason it has stopped have tried on many computers, all plugins are up to date and i have FF versions 16 and 17

Its working fin in latest version of Firefox. 
Update your Firefox 
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
 
Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Configuration of FP-Modules. In the catalog is something written about sending data on data change. There is a checkbox in the FP-Explorer but I can�t find a configuration menu in FP-Explorer to set the threshold value at which the data will be send.

: Configuration of FP-Modules. In the catalog is something written about sending data on data change. There is a checkbox in the FP-Explorer but I can�t find a configuration menu in FP-Explorer to set the threshold value at which the data will be send.The FP-1600 modules automatically send data on-change only. The change threshold is by default 0%. Any change, even a single least significant bit change, is sent back to the computer. If the FP-1600 firmware revision supports deadbanding (firmware revision 3.0.x and later, can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/fieldpoint/Update/FPEthernet0320.zip ). Then on each analog channel or count channel you can specify a percentage change for deadbanding in FieldPoint Explorer. This is done on a channel by channel basis, by right-clicking on the particular IO module and choosing Edit this Device, then choosing Channel Configuration. Each channel (if it supports deadbanding) will have a deadband entry box on the middle right side of the screen).
The FP-1000/1001 seri
al network modules do not support deadbanding. The checkbox in FieldPoint Explorer is simply for how FieldPoint Explorer displays the data to the user and does not effect client programs nor the behavior of the network module itself.

Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should.

Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should. Where can I find them?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export 
Import the HTML file in Firefox 3: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

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,

After updating to Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 PC the bookmarks icon won't stay on the toolbar and I can't click it to get a bookmarks column on the left side of the screen, how do I fix it?

There was no bookmarks icon on the toolbar. I used View > Toolbars> customise to put various icons on the toolbar all of which were visible using "customise". On going back to Firefox all the other icons remained visible but the Bookmarks Icon disappeared leaving no means of getting a bookmarks column on the left of the screen when using Firefox.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar 
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

I have flashplayer which works in Internet Explorer but not some sites using Firefox. I refreshed but no change and i DID lose all my bookmarks. Help!

Listening to BBC Radio was possible until today but now in Firefox I'm told to install Flashplayer. i have tried that 3 times but with no effect. The same with videos on BBC and some other sites but on others it works. If I use Internet Explorer everything is fine. So there is clearly an interface problem with Firefox which has only just started. I tried refreshing believing that it would retain all my favourites and other information/settings but most were lost. I'm 73 not technical so a simple solution if possible please.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Is it possible to link my bookmarks, history, cookies to an online account as in chrome. This prevents ever loosing them.

I was always a firefox user, but recently did a reinstall of windows and had to manually write down all my bookmarks because last time I re installed windows, the add on that was supposed to backup and restore bookmark simply failed to do so and I lost all my bookmarks. I have discovered that chrome remembers all my bookmarks, cookies, history and settings via my google account. This feature of chrome is very important to me because my bookmarks keep track of all my work and important sites.
I don't want to risk loosing this vital information, so I am forced to use chrome now.
I would like to suggest that this be a feature in firefox somehow. Maybe users could have a mozzila account that stores bookmarks and history automatically for access from any other computer via a log in option.
importing bookmarks into a new instance of firefox would be as simple as pressing an import from mozzila account button.
If a mozzilla account is not viable then maybe linking to a dropbox account or something like that could work.
The problem I am having with firefox now, is simply that my data is stored locally and always runs the risk of permanent loss. Actualy I have lost firefox data about 3 time in the past.

Sync is not intended to be used as a backup service like you are talking about, but it will work as long as you save the Recovery Key, as Jefferson mentioned (you also need your Sync Username ''[email address you used]'' and your account Password).
Mozilla has just started working a new "cloud service" that is code named '''PiCL''' for "Profile in CLoud", which I am expecting will be a lot easier to use and might allow the user to access their bookmarks and other data from the internet without adding a "borrowed" PC to your Sync account.

Firefox icon disappeared, have to use Internet Explorer to access web sites. Although I can get into Yahoo home page, am unable to open e-mail account.

Turned on computer this am and firefox icon not there. Used Internet Explorer to access web sites. Was able to access my Yahoo home page but not able to open my e-mail account. I am not savvy enough to change settings by myself, so I really need help.
Thank you

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny

In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

How can I retrieve my bookmarks from when I was using Internet Explorer

I did not select move Bookmarks etc. when I downloaded firefox today . Now I realize that was a mistake. Can I retrieve them or do I need to dump Firefox and re-load it?

You do not need to re-load Firefox. You can retrieve your bookmarks and other data from Internet Explorer by following the steps given in this article: [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]].

Can bookmarks be organized so the folders are listed first (above) the urls like they are in Internet Explorer?

In Internet Explorer I nest web addresses (urls) inside folders in a folder tree. This is something Internet Explorer actually does quite well. It would really be helpful when you open a folder in the Firefox Bookmarks to see all the folders nested within it listed at the top before any urls that might also be in the folder. If anyone knows how to do this, I'd sure appreciate knowing. Thanks.

The extension SortPlaces gives you many options on how to sort folder, the urls within folders, the urls not in folders, and the bookmarks toolbar items. I use SortPlaces for the almost 4,000 bookmarks that I have within and outside of many, many nested folders.

I used to be able to open Earthlink through a desktop icon but the icon now opens through Internet Explorer. I can open it through foxfire but want separate ic

A friend used my computer to access his gmail account. I had to sign out of my gmail account but am now back. In the course of trying to help him access his account I opened Internet access.
After it appeared that my gmail account was ok I opened my Earthlink account through the desktop icon as usual. However, my password was not longer there and it was not opening in Foxfire. When I clicked on Foxfire my Earthlink account was there as was my password (hidden of course but saved) I want to be able to have a separate icon for Earthlink that includes my password. How do I do that? And I want to delete the one that appreas to go through Internet Explorer.

Was the shortcut created with Firefox, or Win IE?
Type '''about:preferences#general'''<enter> in the address bar.
Turn on '''Always Check Firefox Default Browser.'''

Is it possible to change my bookmark icon like I can in Internet Explorer, if not can this be a future enhancement?
