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.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

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 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!

How do I turn off Firefox auto-completing what I type in the address bar with my own history and bookmarks?

I have buttons on my Bookmarks bar for any site that I frequently visit. How do I prevent ANYTHING from coming up when I type in the address bar? I found it a long time ago but I never changed it. Now I can't figure out how to get back there.

You can set set the location bar autocomplete to "Nothing":
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: Nothing

I want the cursor to be in the address bar when creating a new window; it works for new tabs and in a new private window, but not in safe mode.

I have tried following the advice offered in the few different threads I have found on this but nothing fixes it. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window and/or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I fixed the issue for new tabs via about:config but this doesn't work for new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In new private windows the cursor is in the address bar.

The search box in about:home steals the cursor. Changing your home page to something else will cause the cursor to start in the address bar for new windows.

Run java program in task bar and create a shortcut

Hi all,
Do you have any idea about how to run a Java task in taskbar on windows. I am writing a application in Java and it needs to monitor mouse movements. I need to collect the file paths it selects and then drag and drop on Shortcut Icon on Desktop which finally triggers the actual GUI application written in Java where again these files are fed as input. If you have any Idea or suggessions about how to do this.
Thanks,
Regards,
Ravikiran

Ok..
To create a shortcut on your desktop w2k/xp:
1. right click on desktop, select new: Shortcut
2. in "Type location of item" type:
 "javaw -classpath C:\ebjava\ DragTest"
 (Replace c:\ebjava\ with location of your Java app and DragTest with name of your app)
3. Click next, and enter a name for your shortcut and click finishFor your Java app.. do something like this.
import javax.swing.*;
public class DragTest extends JFrame {
 JTextArea area;
 public DragTest () {
 area = new JTextArea();
 getContentPane().add(area, "Center");
 setBounds(0, 0, 400, 400);
 setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 public void append(String s) {
 area.append(s);
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 DragTest test = new DragTest();
 test.setVisible(true);
 if(args.length > 0) {
 for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
 test.append(args);
test.append("\n");
else {
test.append("No args were supplied");
When you drag files, or other shortcuts onto your shortcut the app will start and the full file name (including full path) will show up as a string argument. This is the best you're going to get.
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.
