Just updated to 9.0.1 and all the bookmark icons disappeared. Also, tried to watch a gov.ca.gov webstream and it wouldn't load.

My previous version of firefox bookmarks had logos from the companies or government agencies attached to the names. The new version wiped those out.
Also, when I go to some websites I get a message that Firefox needs to be restarted in a 32-bit format. I'm on an iMac that already supports this.
Lastly, I used to be able to watch web stream live videos from the California Govenor webpage. Today's event wouldn't load from www.gov.ca.gov or www.calchannel.com. I have to use Safari to get this stuff.

Hi FamilyW,
You should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues this article] that discusses some of the issues with the latest build of Firefox.
There is some information in there that should help you to resolve your issue. Luckily, it is a very easy fix.
Hopefully this helps!

  • I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

    I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back up app.
    Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present  and appeared OK.
    I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
    Running iMAC System 10.4.11
    How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?

    Further info.
    I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
    Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
    Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight  to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
    Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in  Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
    Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
    the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
    So now I cannot tell which is the symbol  iCal.plist
    Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?

  • Hi all, just downloaded a security update on my new iphone 4S.  The phone may be more secure but all the Aps icons have been downgraded in quality. Why would this be and how can I get smart looking aps back? Regards Steve

    Hi KiltedTim, as a newbie to Apple, iphones and forums I would appreciate an explanation of the 'Trolls and Mods' comments on your posting.  I presume the Mods are Apple sentinels but am I really a Troll just because I made a criticism of the new iOS version (even though I did not know I was actually doing that).  Am I a Troll to you because you personally disapprove of criticism of the new iOS or is Troll used by the community to describe anyone who speaks up if they are not happy about a change.  Please understand that by asking these questions it is not my intention to be confrontational (I’ve been called far worse than a Troll over the years) but as I’m new to the group an insight into the politics may be beneficial.  I’m an Old **** who isn’t technically gifted and may need the help of this group in the future so I don’t want to stand on anyone’s toes. Best regards Suttertonsteve.  

  • Whenever my new iMac updates or is shutdown, I lose all the Bookmarks that I've created in Safari are gone.  Anyone know how to prevent this?

    Several times now I have created a Bookmark list in Safari but everytime the iMac updates the software, or I shut the computer down, I lose all the Bookmarks.  Only the pre-installed Bookmarks remain.  Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

    Try resetting PRAM.

  • Why is the AOL Icon missing from your home page and all the other icons are there?

    Today when I opened Firefox to go to my AOL account; the AOL Icon was missing. However, it appears that all of the other general icons including MSN; Pinterest; Facebook, You Tube, etc.

    Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • HT3180 All of the sudden the apple TV is gone. I can get movies and all the other icons, but no apple TV!!

    I wanted to watch Apple TV and when I go to it, there is no option for TV...there is the Movie icon, the music icon,  netflex, hulu , etc, but no TV.  What's up??

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I'm not really sure what it is you are asking about, what is it that you want to watch on your Apple TV.

  • Is there a new virus that affects Firefox? My browser is fine for a while and then the text will disappear, also some of the control buttons.

    This has been going on at least 3 months with the browser. The back arrow will disappear, sometimes the text completely disappears, sometimes you can see it but its unreadable, looks like the letters are missing pixels. Sometimes the images get corrupted with black pixelation. If you quit and restart it goes away, for a while.
    The problem seems to be affecting my online games as well. I play "Steampunk Tower" on Yahoo!'s free game tab and it always crashes my machine hard, as in abruptly shuts down the system with no warning. This is not the only game to be affected.
    I have both McAfee and Norton 360 and they find nothing when I scan, but they can only detect what they know about so I'm looking for something new and unreported. Or maybe an update failed or has corrupted a file, I don't know. I do know that its very irritating and I'd like to fix it, if possible.

    hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • Everytime I try to browse, I will type in an address and it'll go but the page is just blank, like it didn't install all the way. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling nothing helps what do I do?

    I installed Firefox 6 and everytime I type in a different address it will act like it is loading the picture and then everything is blank. I know the internet is working because I can browse with other browsers.

    When you uninstalled and reinstalled AI did you run the Cleaner tool in between?

  • How do I remove the Icons next to each bookmark on the bookmark toolbar? They take up too much space and all the bookmarks I need on the toolbar dont show up.

    On my bookmarks toolbar, each bookmark has the associated webpage icon next to it. I would like to remove those icons, as they take up too much space.
    Thanks

    The icons, if you are familiar with them or they are obvious, take up less space than the words. You can abbreviate the names down to next to nothing or even nothing.
    To save space and help organization you can group bookmarks into folders on your Bookmarks toolbar.

  • I updated Firefox and all my bookmarks are lost; how do I restore them?

    I just updated Firefox to 8.0.1., and all my bookmarks are gone. NONE of the suggested articles dealt with this: How do I restore the bookmarks? And why wasn't I asked during the update if I would like to have the bookmarks imported? Also why wasn't I warned that I would lose them all? Thank you.

    Use the following to see if you have more than one profile or your lost bookmarks
    in the bookmarkbackups folder.
    Type about:support into the location bar the click on "Open Containing Folder" that will take you to your current profile. The bookmarkbackups folder has 5 backups (.json files) any of which can be restored with Firefox up through restore bookmarks.
    but if you created a new folder see ...next...
    =========================================================
    (continued...)
    Lost passwords, bookmarks, is a profile issue. Sounds like you
    created a new profile instead of using your existing profile.
    Open your profile folder and go up one level to see if you have multiple profiles ...
    :  HELP (Alt+H) --> Troubleshooting information... --> "Open Containing Folder" (or type about:support into the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder")
    :note the filename, then go up one level to see if you have additional profile folders.
    Check the dates of places.sqlite (new in Fx3) for update date just before you went to Fx6 Since it is updated each time you close your session that would be a good place to check.
    If you find one then note its filename (the profile name is part of the filename) and then start the Firefox Profile Manager and open with that profile.
    To prevent the problem in the future don't let Firefox start up for you after downloading and installing a new version. Instead exit the install at that last point, and restart Firefox in your normal manner.

  • I need to erase my hard drive and start anew, will time Machine(external drive) and all the discs I got with my computer be enough to restart things

    I need to erase my hard drive and start anew, will time Machine(external drive) and all the discs I got with my computer be enough to restart things.  And secondly does RAM memory cards go bad.  Here's the info on my IMac:

    I need to erase my hard drive and start anew
    Why do you feel you need to do this? That is such a 'Windows thing' to do!
    And secondly does RAM memory cards go bad
    Very rarely, but nothing in life is guaranteed (except death and taxes)! If you purchased RAM from a reputable source like Crucial or OWC it will carry a lifetime warranty.

  • 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<br />
    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"
