Use of Favicons FF3.6.13 on WinXP

I have some bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar (I do have the Smart Bookmarks Bar installed). When i start firefox, all the favicons show up as white plain icons. When I click on each favicon and the page loads, the favicons take the actual icon of the bookmark.
Now I can conveniently click on each of my favorite bookmark in no time and am a happy camper!
When I restart firefox or close this particular browsing session, and restart the browser, the favicons show up again as blank. Its unbelievably frustrating and I have spent 4-6 hrs searching for a solution, but nothing seems to work (Favicon picker or dragging the favicon of the website to the bookmarks toolbar or setting the properties of the icon such that I browse and locate an .ico file...) After I restart, the favicons are lost!
A fix to this problem as to what I am missing would be truly appreciated! Thanks in advance.. ((I have FF3.6.13 on Vista and the favicons work fine!)

[[Updates reported when running newest version]] - link
The cause could be due to your user agent being mixed up as 3.6.12 and 3.6.13 versions. I think downloading 3.6.13 from www.mozilla.com and then uninstall your 3.6.13 and then install the 3.6.13 you downloaded should fix it in this case. Your settings are in a separate place ([[Profiles]]) and not in program folder.

My bookmarks display the wrong favicons FF3.6.12 MAC OS X 10.6.5

After I visit a site, I find that the favicon for that site attaches itself to/replaces the favicon for one or more bookmarks for other sites. I can clear the cache, reboot, revisit a bookmarked page and everything reverts to normal. Unfortunately, the problem repeats itself. I don't want to have to keep clearing or deleting/resetting bookmarks. Is there a permanent solution to this bug?

I have this problem after upgrading to FF 5.0.1 -- which I did after installing Lion. I cleared my history and cache. Restarted all. I still get the wrong favicon in the bookmarks toolbar and in the address line. This is really frustrating. The correct favicons appear when I use Safari and Chrome. Surely there must be a way to fix this problem.

Using firefox on a computer with both winXP and Ubuntu, having the Firefox profile-map in a separate partition, I would like not to have to delete the "parent lock" each time I want to use Firefox.

I have Firefox in the Windowspartition of my computer and in the Linuxpartition of my computer, I have a third partition where I store my personal data, such as my Firefox-profile-map and my download-map.
If I don't manually delete "Parent Lock" Firefox won't start saying that there is already a session open.
It would be better not to have this parentlock-system.

It would be better to use two separate profiles for each Operating System and sync the data between the two as there may be other problems as well with the caches that current Firefox versions use and other files that store OS dependent file paths.

I'd like to try FF4RC. Is there any way to install it and still be able to use my existing FF3.5 version, or, does the ff4 install overlay my existing version?

I don't want to cause my existing version to be overlayed.

You can do a custom install of the Firefox 4 RC release and choose a different install location.<br />
Make sure that you un-tick check boxes (e.g. default browser) and that you do not launch Firefox once the installation has finished to prevent the RC from using your Firefox 3.6 profile.<br />
Use the profile manager to create a new profile for the RC version.

I get error -1074388956 when using CAN. This error code is undefined. what could it be? I am using NI-CAN 2.1.2 on WinXP SP1.

I've tried to search for it but come up with nothing.

You can convert this decimal code to HEX Code. If you do so, the HEX code looks like BFF62024. This Code means the Board handle is invalid. This could happen if you use not a valid handle because of race conditions within variables or close functions within the code.
Please check the handles within your code.

Use old Java App with WinXP

We have an old app written with Java 1.0.2, designed to run on IE3.0.2.
We have need to use it but all our machines are WinXP Pro, running IE6/SP1. The app will not run on this configuration.
Is there a way we can use them? We are not Java programmers. Is there an app that will allow older stuff to run on newer technology?
Thanks
Paul P

I will bet the IE 3.02 will give you more problems than Java will. Check out Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/ to see what they have to say about IE.

Can I use HP Director software (WinXP) on my HP G62-340US laptop (Win7) with HP PSC 1510xi?

Can I use the HP Director software from my WinXP Desktop (HP Pavilion 325c) on my HP G62-340US Laptop (Win7, 64-bit)?
If so, will the XP software version run on my Win7 64-bit system?
I really liked the HP Director's functions when I used it on my desktop.
Maybe... Can I just use my Backup or Restore discs from my Desktop to install the HP Director software suite onto my Laptop?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I found my answer! HP Director was replaced by HP Solution Center - which I installed and it works. I do, however, prefer the interface on the HP Director than that of the Solution Center.

I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
code: 800A03F6
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .

Favicon is not shown in Internet Explorer ... (SJS Web Server 6.1)

Hi,
I wanna show a favicon in Internet Explorer but it's not easy.
I just deploy a 'favicon.ico' file in Document Root of Web Server.
It works well with other browsers , for example, Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator.
But only MS Internet Explorer can't show the favicon.
How can I solve this problem?
Plz help me.
Thanks,

In IE, favicon will not be shown in the title bar or the addressbar as in other browsers. As its name indicates it is "Favorites Icon". If we add the web page to the favorites (ie Bookmark) then this icon will be used.
In IE,
1. Open the web page,
2. Select Favorites --> Add to Favorites
3. Now, You could see the Favicon in the Favorites menu.
May be in the later versions of IE, it may use the favicon to show up in title bar or address bar similar to other browsers...

Using XML functions in SQL Developer

Hi,
I'm using OSD 1.5.3 on a WinXP machine. I love OSD and use it every day! But I think i found a little bug. When you use some Oracle XML functions like (XMLELEMENTS and XMLAGG) in your query (these functions return CLOB values) it hangs OSD.
For Example:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("Relation",
XMLELEMENT("Name", 'Dennis'),
XMLELEMENT("DateOfBirth", '09/28/1975')
) as Relation
FROM DUAL;
Are there some parameters I can set to prevent this, or is this a bug?
Kind Regards,
D.

Your query works fine for me from SQL Dev 1.5.3 (JDK 1.6.0_06), using either a JDBC or TNS connection (Oracle Client 9.2) to a 10.2.0.3 DB. Another thing which I have no idea if it is relevant (someone else may be able to say) is the following line from Help > About > Properties:
oracle.xdkjava.compatibility.version 9.0.4
Given that it works fine over TNS connections from SQL*Plus and PL/SQL Developer, I would assume that it is something related to your SQL Developer setup, unless you are using a different version of the Oracle client for these tools.

Safari 6.0.5 update loses Favicons!

I just updated to Safari 6.0.5. I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 on a Macbook Pro. When I RESET Safari, 95% of the Favicons in my Bookmarks Menu are gone.
Just so we're clear -- in Safari Preferences/General I've designated "Remove History Items" to be done Manually.
On the Reset Safari window/menu, I HAVE NOT checked Clear History or Remove all webpage preview images.
I did not have this problem with the previous version of Safari.
Some users on some older threads suggested replacing the User Library/Safari/WebIcons.db file with an older version from a back-up (prior to the Safari 6.0.5 update). I tried that and it didn't work.
Some users actually inform us that if we simply click on the bookmark and go to the site, the favicon will reload. Are they kidding? I'm not using these favicons for decoration. I use them so I can quickly scan through a list of bookmarks and find the site and bookmark I'm searching for. That's a lot easier to do with the Favicons/WebIcons intact and visible, versus a long vertical row of generic blue balls (no pun intended).
Does anyone have a fix for this?
If anyone from Apple reads this, PLEASE fix this! Had I known this was going to happen, I would have stayed with version 6.0.4!

Hi Carolyn,
I haven't had any problems with Safari crashing or performing poorly. Safari has always run very well for me. My only problem is this one with the web page icons. I understand your suggestion per trashing the existing Webpageicons.db file (versus replacing it with an archived backup).
When you say that it "...may take several days for the webpage icons to re-populate...", do you mean that the icons will re-populate automatically?... or rather that they'll repopulate as I visit the individual websites. I ask because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I don't want to have to visit each site to reestablish its web page icon in my bookmarks. I went through this once before on a Safari update and literally spent hours visiting site after site to reestablish the webpage icons. Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your help!

Recursive custom tag: different behaviour in WinXP and Linux

Hi all,
I've a strange behaviour on a web application for which I developed a custom tag to render a tree structure.
This tag take in input an object representing the tree with all its nodes, and render every node, calling hitself recursively for every child of every node.
This tag is used inside a jsp.
I deployed my webapp on JBoss in a WinXP Pro environment, and everything is ok. Then I deployed the same webapp on JBoss in a Linux Env, and the call to the custom tag... doesn't write anything (with the same input).
Used jdk are 1.6.0_10 on WinXP and 1.6.0_7 on Linux (an OpenSuse professional distribution). JBoss is 4.2 (I did tests with JBoss 4.2.2 and 4.2.3).
Here is a sample code of my tag (file outree.tag):
<%@ tag language="java" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/log-1.0" prefix="log" %>
*<%@ taglib prefix="ousel" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/ouselector" %>*
<%@ attribute name="subtree"
          required="true"
          type="my.webapp.TreeObject" %>
<%@ attribute name="subroot_index" required="true" type="java.lang.Integer"%>
<log:debug category="my.webapp.ousearch.taglib" message="Tag library called, starting operations..." />
<c:if test="${not empty subtree.children}">
     <c:set var="next_subtree_index" value="${subroot_index + 1}"/>
     <ul class="subtree" id="subtree-${subroot_index}">
     <log:debug category="${logcategory}" message="We have children, calling recursively tag library on them (next subtree index: ${next_subtree_index})..." />
     <c:forEach var="currentOUChild" items="${subtree.children}">
          *<ousel:outree subtree="${currentOUChild}" subroot_index="${next_subtree_index}"/>*
          <c:set var="next_subtree_index" value="${next_subtree_index + 1}"/>
     </c:forEach>
     </ul>
</c:if>
</li>The TreeObject contains a list of children that can contain other children and so on. On every child, I call recursively my custom tag to render with a set of nested <ul> elements the entire tree structure.
Here the call from the jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/log-1.0" prefix="log" %>
*<%@ taglib prefix="ousel" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/ouselector" %>*
<log:debug category="${logcategory}" message="Building subtree ${ouSubtree} HTML structure..." />
*<ousel:outree subtree="${ouSubtree}" subroot_index="1"/>*
<log:debug category="${logcategory}" message="Subtree ${ouSubtree} HTML structure built" />
...Jakarta log taglibs is used to log the value of the parameter passed to the custom tag. In the Linux env I see that the passed object is not empty (it couldn't be null because the tag enforce it as a mandatory value).
Any idea?

I have found a workaround.
Simply substitute the recursive invocation, with an import of a jsp that will call the custom tag.
Note: You have to set your needed variable in request to make it visible to the jsp
<%@ tag language="java" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/log-1.0" prefix="log" %>
<%@ attribute name="subtree"
          required="true"
          type="my.webapp.TreeObject" %>
<%@ attribute name="subroot_index" required="true" type="java.lang.Integer"%>
<log:debug category="my.webapp.ousearch.taglib" message="Tag library called, starting operations..." />
<c:if test="${not empty subtree.children}">
     <c:set var="next_subtree_index" value="${subroot_index + 1}"/>
     <ul class="subtree" id="subtree-${subroot_index}">
     <log:debug category="${logcategory}" message="We have children, calling recursively tag library on them (next subtree index: ${next_subtree_index})..." />
     <c:forEach var="currentOUChild" items="${subtree.children}">
                *<c:set var="_currentOUChild" value="${currentOUChild}" scope="request"/>*
                *<c:set var="_next_subtree_index" value="${next_subtree_index}" scope="request"/>*
          *<c:import url="/WEB-INF/tags/outtree.jsp"/>*
          <c:set var="next_subtree_index" value="${next_subtree_index + 1}"/>
     </c:forEach>
     </ul>
</c:if>
</li>Here is the imported jsp (outtree.jsp):
<%@ taglib prefix="ousel" tagdir="/WEB-INF/tags/ouselector" %>
<ousel:outree subtree="${_currentOUChild}" subroot_index="${_next_subtree_index}"/>

A very common question. Tomcat dislikes classes which are not packaged. So, add a package statement in your UserBean.java
package beans; // or something like thatand then place the compiled class file UserBean.class into WEB-INF/classes/beans.
Put the import statement into the JSP accordingly and try again.

Unable to Network with WinXP

Since getting my new iMac with Leopard on it I have been unable to do the following:
1. Find my HP printer that is connected to my WinXP machine.
2. Get ther WinXP machine to connect to my Mac (I get an error that says the Network Path is not found). Although the iMac shows up in the WinXP Workgroup (which I have named Vtphome).
3. By default, my older Mac running Tiger is in its own workgroup called "Workgroup" which is accessible by ALL the machines in my office. However the Leopard machine doesn't even show up in the generic "Workgroup".
This is extremely frustrating. I need to share/swap files during the course of the work day and use the printer connected to the one WinXP machine.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problems may be?
Thanks all.

Hello,
I wouldn't claim to be an expert, but I've got a couple of ideas for you. First, let's forget about the printer for now and let's see if we can get the iMac talking to the other machines.
1) JUST FOR THIS TEST - can you switch "off" all the firewalls on all of the machines. In Windows, go into Control Panel > Network Connections > Right click the connection > Click the Advanced tab > click Settings > Click OFF > Click OK, OK. If you have Windows XP SP2 it will complain that the firewall is switched off, just ignore it.
To turn off the firewall in Leopard, go to System Preferences > Security > select Allow all incoming connections.
I'm afraid I don't have a Tiger machine to hand, so I can't give precise instructions but you can use the search box in System Prefs to search for it.
Now that all firewalls are off, give the network a couple of minutes and then see if you can do what you want to do.
Don't forget, when you are done with these instructions to turn the firewalls back on, if you want to. I myself have a hardware firewall on my router between my network and the internet, so I leave all the computer firewalls off anyway. If you aren't sure - switch them all back on!
2) Set the Workgroup name in Leopard - go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > WINS. Set a useful NetBIOS name if you haven't done so already. Personally, I would set all of the machines (Mac and PC) to the same workgroup name.
3) On the Leopard machine, enable File Sharing. Go to System Preferences > Sharing. Set a useful computer name, and tick File Sharing. I think it sets up a "Public Folder" by default as your shared folder but you can always add other shared folders by clicking the + underneath and selecting another folder to share.
Once all of the above is set up at the same time, in theory you should be able to do what you want to do with file sharing. A couple of points to bear in mind - for computer names / netbios names, avoid spaces and when it's set up, give the computers a few minutes to start talking before you try to browse the network on any machine.
For the printer... I've struggled with this under Tiger before, but got it working under Leopard. How are you trying to add the printer?
If you are still having problems, if you could let me know the version of XP you are using (Home? Pro? SP2?) that would be useful.
In closing, don't forget once you have finished the tests to turn the firewalls back on unless you are confident enough to leave them off. In general, if your network is behind a hardware router that has it's own firewall, it's OK to leave each computers firewall off. But research before you do that - don't blame me if you leave them off and bad things happen!
Hope you find this helpful
