No icon in address bar

Safari used to show the icon for my web site in its address bar, but doesn't any more. There has been no change to the favicon.ico file, but our site is on a new server with possibly slightly different configuration. Also, more than one version of Mac OS X (and therefore probably Safari) has gone by since I last recall seeing the icon in the address bar.
If I trash the ~/Library/Safari/Icons folder, Safari re-fetches favicon.ico from the server, but still does not display it. The site in question is www.animalhead.com. Have the criteria that Safari uses for the "correctness" of an icon changed?
Any help would be much appreciated,

I keep answering my own questions on Apple forums. Does this make me eligible for any special awards, like "self-healing"?
After reading some stuff about icons, I had added the following line to the main configuration file (httpd.conf) of my Apache2 server, several months ago:
AddType image/x-icon .ico
When I comment out this line and restart the server, my little favicon shows up just fine in Safari.
Wikipedia suggests using "image/vnd.microsoft.icon" instead of "image/x-icon", but I can't bring myself to try anything with the m-word in it just now. Maybe I'll try it in the future...

How to hide extra text and icons in address bar

I want to make the icons and extra text in the address bar go away since they do nothing for me and only take up space that I need to use to see the whole URL. Right now there's a green padlock icon on the left side with 1/4 of the space taken up by "Mozilla Foundation (US)" instead of the URL, other times it's a little globe or a little lego/car battery looking thing, or several icons in a row. There's a permanent star shaped thingy on the left and a down arrow that want to get rid of as well. I don't care at all what they mean, I just want them gone. I need to see as much of the URL in the URL bar as possible, not a bunch of icons and extra non-URL text. The address bar should be for addresses, and that's how I want my browser to function. I don't care one single bit what those icons or extra text are for, so please don't try to advocate for their staying. I've made up my mind 100% that I want them gone. Can I make them go away, yes or no?

I use code to hide the URL in case of a EV certificate and only show it on hover.
You still see the green padlock.
That gives me extra space on the location bar

Change firefox icon in address bar

I'm attempting to customize firefox to look like IE, don't ask why, trust me I don't want to. But anyway, I downloaded FoxE9, that kinda customizes firefox to look like ie9, which I think its the closest I'm gonna get.
Only problem Im running across is the firefox icon that is in the address bar on the left side, I think its called a favicon?
Is there any way to change or remove it? Also this is firefox portable version 26.

That isn't a correct action for the URL bar.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

How to getred plug in icon in address bar

Can not get javascript plugin in firefox. Instructions say , select options- content tab-mark 'enable javascrit check box' no such box appears under my content tab. A little further down on the same page it says 'javascript enabled in your browser'.
Have not got red plug in icon in my address bar, how do I get it?. this would be the simplest way for me to enable/disable javascript.
Main reason is that I can not enlarge photos in eBay.

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to toggle JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to toggle JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now enabled.
To Re-disable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you toggle JavaScript on the fly, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

Make text and icons in address bar, tool palet etc. bigger in photoshop workspace?

Hi.
Im new to Photoshop so this is a fundamental question. My eyes arn't that great and I find the icons and text in the photoshop workspace very small. I'm sure when I become familiar with them this will be no problem but in the learning phase I find it difficult. I have watched many Utube tutorial videos and notice they have much larger Icons and text (on the actual application itself, not the work pane) and this makes it much easier.
I remember actually doing this myself but that was several weeks ago, I remember thinking, "I should remember this," but of course I've forgotten and it's frustrating the hell out of me.
I'm sure it would take me hours to find again by myself and would appreciate it if someone could tell me in a few minutes.
Thanks.

There are many elements of the Photoshop UI that are of a fixed size.
One way to make everything larger is to lower the pixel count for your desktop. If your monitor is capable of resampling (most modern ones are), everything will be shown larger, as the smaller number of pixels are upsampled to fit the whole display.
HOWEVER, running a resolution that's different from the "native" or "preferred" pixel count of your display (assuming it's an LCD) will pretty much ensure that nothing will be as sharp as it could be.

Website icon in address bar gone!

Where is it gone? and how do I re enable it?

I've just switched back to 13. There is no reason for Mozilla to change all this stuff on us. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Lost my dashboard with all icons, cannot access bookmqarks, address bar, etc.

I selected a persona. i tried to minimize the dashboard to see the persona. I lost the dashboard with all the icons and address bar. how to restore it.

That is not called the "dashboard". Each '''toolbar''' can be shown separately, as shown here. Menu Bar, Navigation Toolbarbar, and Bookmarks Toolbar 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
Firefox 4.0 versions have a new "Firefox button" which allows to user to hide the Menu Bar, and if that is showing you can have the Menu Bar appear temporarily by hitting the '''Alt''' key. Then you can click on the '''View''' menu item and open Toolbars.
If that doesn't solve your issue, try the Firefox SafeMode - you may have an addon that is causing your problem.

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

I want to Remove RSS icon from the address bar when I click on My SMF Forum

I have a SMF forum when I click on the login page I see an RSS icon in the right of the address bar next to a star.
The forum opens in an RSS to subscribe, which is stupid as it is not an RSS feed, it is a forum. I want to get rid of this and do not know how to do it.

This is a feature of firefox, although it may have been removed from firefox 4beta ( at least in default set up, no idea why). The appearance of the RSS icon within the location bar is intended to inform that RSS feeds are available from the site in use. You may note that this firefox forum we are using has such an icon displaying in the location bar, that is because feeds are available allowing you to track the threads, no doubt something similar happens with the SMF forum you mention.
If it is possible to remove the RSS icon from the location bar it will certainly not be straightforward, other than by upgrading to 4beta, and that is available now, and may be run whilst the stable version firefox 3.6 is still installed on your computer. (iirc there is an add-on available to add the rss icon to Fx4)
If a post answers your enquiry, you may wish to use the button alongside it to mark it as solved.

Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

How do I get back my small icon for one click completion of my name and address etc. I lost it when I got back my web address bar

I was getting frustrated that I had no address bar to put in an address and go straight to the page, but in restoring that I have lost my small icon which I clicked on when I wanted to complete all my personal data on the many sites such as the council, shopping sites etc. It used to fill in my name, address, telephone number, email address, etc. It was a small square firefox icon. I am using a Toshiba Laptop, with Windows Vista operating system

"small pencil" - Is this the '''exact''' extension you have installed? 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autofill-forms/
I don't know where you are getting '''Ctrl + Q''' from - that extension uses '''''Alt + J''''' to trigger the 'autofill' feature when the cursor is in the first form field.
'''FillForms''' extension doesn't seem to have a "small pencil" associated with it. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fillforms/ 
But it does use '''Ctrl + Q''' till web forms. 
''Sorry can't help you with that extension, the 'support' page is written in a SE Asian language which is undecipherable to me. http://www.symental.com/bbs/

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.
