Why don't my bookmark icons on my bookmark toolbar stay when I exit and go back into Firefox?

The bookmark icons stay on my desktop computer, but they don't on my laptop. Is there a setting somewhere where I can change it?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first downloaded Firefox

What's the solution?
Whenever I start firefox, default icon for all bookmarks show up :(.. They only change when I click on the bookmarks to open that page. The sad part, if I close-open/restart firefox, they are all gone :(

    How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists?

    Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • We have a new iPad Mini.  I cannot save a new Bookmark.  In Safari, I go to "Share" and select "Add a Bookmark" yet when I click on the Bookmarks icon, my saved Bookmark is not there.  Am I doing something wrong?

    We have a new iPad Mini, and I'm having inconsistent results using Bookmarks in the Safari icon.
    For a long time, on the iPad, I could only see five items under the Bookmark icons and the Bookmarks Bar was empty. 
    Occasionally, in Safari, the iPad would pick up and display all of the Bookmarks from the Safari browser on my iMac. 
    Other times, there are only a bare few Bookmarks available on the iPad, the Bookmarks Bar goes away and I cannot save a new Bookmark.  It looks like I can save one, but I cannot find it after allegedly saving. 
    Then, all of the Bookmarks will come back and I can save a new Bookmark again. We can't figure out why all of the Bookmarks will show and then they won't.
    I want to think this involves iCloud some way, but for right now, I'm stumped.  Perhaps we're just too inexperienced and haven't come around the learning curve yet.
    Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue.  When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
    I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab.  But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
    But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back.  When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
    It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
    Thanks.

  • I want to assign and change bookmark icons on my bookmark toolbar

    Some websites automatically assign an icon when I add them to my bookmark bar. For brevity sake, I delete the description so I can have more bookmarks lined up across the top of the browser page. Other websites do not generate an icon (its an icon of a blank page, a generic default setting I suppose). I want to be able to assign an icon for my bookmarks that do not have a unique icon.

    If you want to have a less crowded Bookmarks Toolbar then I don't think that you can assign icons.
    However you can create folders to put bookmarks in. That way, you can still put in a description if you want to, without having to give up Toolbar space. To create a folder:
    1. Right-click the Toolbar
    2. Select the 'New Folder...' option (near the top)
    3. Fill in the name (and description if you wish)
    4. Click 'Add'
    * You can now add bookmarks to that folder by draging and droping them onto it
    * You can edit a folder by right-clicking on it and selecting 'Properties...', changing it to how you want it and clicking 'Save'

  • How can I delete the repeated bookmarks icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    My Firefox 6.02 bookmarks toolbar shows the same two bookmarks repeatedly (3 times and two times) so there is no space for the favourite bookmarks I had originally. How can I delete the repeated bookmarks icons in the toolbar? I tried to drag them to trash, but without success. I could not do it from view/ toolbars/customize either.

  • How do I get my bookmarks back into Firefox after reinstalling?

    I had to reinstall Windows 7 and I backed up all the files (copied them to a different drive). I reinstalled Firefox but can't figure out how to reload the bookmarks. I tried copying them to the same location as before (User/Favorites) but they don't appear. I have several hundred bookmarks! Because I didn't remember to go into Firefox and "Backup" the bookmarks specifically, I'm screwed!?

  • My computer crashed and had to be scrubbed clean--in the process, my bookmarks were saved to a backup folder on the hard drive. How do I import it back into Firefox?

    All my Firefox settings (home page, etc.) had to be reset, but I can't figure out how to import my bookmarks from my backup folder (not in Firefox Library) to the toolbar. Can I drag and drop?

    The answer is yes you can drag and drop, but I am not too clear what you have done, so I will attempt to briefly answer likely possibilities.
    If you will bear with me I will try to explain some of my understandings about Firefox and its bookmarks. Although you see them in the library or sidebar they are stored in a database, along with other info in a file called ''places.sqlite'' . That resides in something called the profile. Firefox also does some clever tricks to back those up and restore them as necessary, so has a backups folder. Additionally it allows the bookmarks to be exported or imported as two types of file .html (try to avoid) or .json
    So one question is what sort of files have you managed to keep ?
    Now talking about the Firefox Bookmarks Library <br> you may note that has by default a folder or directory called 'bookmarks toolbar'
    Anything in the bookmarks toolbar within the library will appear on the toolbar you see. (space permitting, and sometimes as nested folders)
    You can drag and drop to your hearts content within the library, including to the folder for the toolbar.
    (It allows a lot more, for instance
    <br>- dragging onto a desktop to make a shortcut
    <br>- to or from another open library or browser window
    <br>- dragging and dropping to become a tab, or as a toolbar item)
    If you exported your bookmarks as a standard .json file before working on your computer, then you should have them stored somewhere as a .json file. If you open the library it gives you the option under import and export to browse for and import files.
    It is rather more complicated if you stored the raw data files/folders from a profile.

  • Why are some of the icons in my Bookmarks list missing after 8.0 update

    I installed the 8.0 update a few days ago, and when I opened my Bookmarks lists some of the icons associated with the various websites are missing. Is there a way to correct this problem?

    I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page.  I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:
    These smaller pages will load faster and in more browsers.
