The shortcut icon I had in the quick lanch task bar has disappeared and I cannot find it. Help!

The icon I had for Firefox in the quick launch task bar has disappeared. I am running XP Pro on a AMD dual core desk top computer. My internet provider is Verizon.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I clicked on the icon

In my case, the icon is still in the quick launch, but it's just the icon that windows uses when it can't find the right one. When I locate the firefox exe file, it has no icon

  • My pages icon has disappeared and I cannot access the program!!

    My Pages icon has disappeared and I cannot access the program

    Have you tried opening Spotlight (Command + spacebar or click the magnifying glass icon near the right end of the menu bar) and typing "pages" into it to see if it finds Pages?
    If it is found and the problem is that it isn't showing on the Dock, you can open Finder and then use the Finder "Go" menu and click Applications, locate Pages and drag it to the Dock.

  • The icon for volume has disappeared and I cannot get it back....

    The icon ;in my task bar for the volume has disappeared and I cannot get it back.  I tried the customization feature, and it says that the icon is visible but it is not.  then it says the feature will appear when it become available??? When will that be and why has it gone?

    Is this a laptop? If so i have that problem periodically. Turn over the laptop >Take out the battery> turn over the laptop again> push/ hold the power button about 15 seconds> reinstall battery. This worked for me.

  • Since the 3.6 upgrade, my bookmark toolbar has disappeared and I cannot add any bookmarks. The places.sqlite file is gone as is the Firefox folder in application support. It has been replaced by a Mozilla folder that has nothing in it.

    Firefox will not recognize the backup file for bookmarks. It says "unable to process backup file". There is no places.sqlite file to delete. There is nothing in the profile folder

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • The view of the navigation bar has shrunk and I cannot see the tiny print in search box and page location box.

    How do I increase the size of the view within these 2 areas in the navigation bar?. The icons on the bar have not shrunk. I have Windows 7 and FF 19.0.2 which I just reinstalled.

    Are you using any DPI related settings in Windows to increases the font size?
    * Control Panel > Personalization : Adjust font size (DPI) or in Window Color and Appearance
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Task bar has zoomed and cant reduce the size

    can someone help me with reducing the size of icons on my task bar

    Hi Thomas,
    Sorry about the inconvenience, as of today (version 11.0.7) the only way to put a custom value there is using the registry as described in the Adobe Community Help:

    From users' feedback we might change this very soon.
    Thanks,

  • The icon for Norton Identity Safe has disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back on my toolbar.

    I use Norton which has a feature called "Identity Safe." In the old version of Mozilla, the icon for this feature was available on my toolbar. Now that I have converted to the latest version of Firefox, the icon has disappeared and I cannot figure out to get it back. I can still activate the Identity Safe by opening Norton, but I want to restore the shortcut.

    Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1, they have indicated this will be happening soon. For details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808

  • The bottom bar has disappeared?

    Since few days I cannot use fully Photoshop elements the bottom bar has disappeared and this is a big limit for working,
    the working space is fullfilling totally the space
    thanks for help
    MAC OS X.9.4

    Sorry, I meant to say that when you are finished you should put it back to the correct (highest) resolution.
    As for why it happened, it's partly an adobe thing but mostly a mac thing. Window management has many problems in recent versions of OS X and this happens in other programs, too, not just Adobe ones, but the adobe ones tend to take a bit more sorting out.

  • The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

    As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

    On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
    You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
    The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

  • Camera already on from lockscreen on iPhone 5c. How do I turn it off? The camera icon is running in the lower right corner and when I swipe up from the bottom of the lockscreen it brings up the camera running.

    My camera is already running from the lockscreen, the camera icon is displayed in the lower right corner and when I swipe up the control center it brings up the camera first. If I swipe up again I get the control center.  How do I stop the camera from staying on and coming up first?

    I thought the feature was for it to be available for me to use, not to swipe up and have the camera already going. The control panel is not coming up first, it is the camera. In order to get to the control panel I have to swipe up again and the camera is still going. Annoyingly, I have had to disable the camera from the control panel so it isn't coming up first, and now it is unavailable to use quickly.  

  • How do I find the iCloud icon to add to the dock

    How do I find the iCloud icon to add to the dock.  I believe this was on the dock when I first had the computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iCloud is not an application, so it does not appear on the Dock or Applications folder. Instead, you can manage iCloud settings in System Preferences > iCloud.
    iCloud only appears as an application in Windows because of iCloud Control Panel

  • The trash icon is missing from the sidebar in iPhoto.

    In my sidebar when on iphoto I often used the trash icon there to delete photos quickly.
    All of a sudden I notice it is no longer there.
    How do I put it back please?
    Thanks.

    In my sidebar when on iphoto I often used the trash icon there to delete photos quickly.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "quickly", that's the only way to trash from iPhoto.
    Have you tried clicking on the little arrow to the left of "Recent"?

  • Went to watch a video on You Tube that I have watched before on my iMac and got the prompt that I had to upload Adobe Flash Player.  Did that, and am still getting the same prompt and can't watch any videos at all.  What is going on here, Apple??

    I do not know how to do this with an Apple TV (I don't have one), but as far as I know Apple TV only does mirroring.
    If you have an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV from where you sit, then it's easy. The TV could be set up in Extended Desktop mode (mirroring off) as if it was simply another computer monitor, and then you could just drag windows to it. If you have the Displays icon in your menu bar, that's where the setting is, or if the icon is not there, then the setting is in the Displays system preference. But again, that's for conventionally connected monitors, not Apple TV. If you don't have an HDMI cable and wanted a long one that's affordable you can get those at monoprice.com.
    The answer we are still waiting for is if anyone knows if Apple TV can be used in extended desktop (non-mirroring) mode.
