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 :(

Why have all my desktop icons changed to PDF when I installed Reader?

I just installed Adobe Reader, and all of my desktop icons have changed, and nothing will open. How can I fix this?

Hi Carol ,
This seems to happen just because the file associations of the files and folders have been changed and because of that you are experiencing this issue .
To change file associations you could refer the following link and see if that fixes the issue .This link is for windows 7 .

Why have I lost the icons to BB Bridge???

Everything seemed to be going well, as I've been learning slowly bout the Playbook. I have been able to connect to the internet via bridge mode tethering, wifi etc. Today, attempting to tether I couldn't connect. So, I checked all the connections for bluetooth ect. I noticed that there were no icons for BB Bridge on the home screen, nor on the scroll list next to all, favorites, media, and games.
What the heck happened. I did load a couple apps from app world, like Air Browser, Unit converter, and PDF Creator, but why would that delete BB Bridge? Do I need to do a hard reset and reload the version I have is 1.0.8.6067

After speaking with the 90day BB tech support, they told me it was best to reload the OS.
They said my situation was odd, and that they've not heard of this happening. I offered a suggestion of possible downloading of apps pushing others off. Also, I would think there would be an indication of memory full, not allowing the download or capacity check before download.
Well, the new OS is installed and everything seems to be working like new. So, I'm happy for now, but the tech in me want's to know why....
So, here are a few questions for you true developers;
1. Is there a capacity check before loading new apps?
2. Is there a memory indicator that will allow or deny due to size of app? (I know there is a list with the hardware setting, but wondered if there would be a pop-up of some sort, warning "near full capacity, memory low"?)
3. Will the OS push some software if other apps are chosen to be downloaded? ie. "the BB Bridge software"
4. Is there a possibility of corrupt apps, that may have caused this issue?
(All of the apps loaded were directly through appworld, via wifi connection direct to Playbook.)
5. Do any of the apps listed in the OP have known issues?

Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

iCloud is not compatible with Snow Leopard, that is your problem.
A quick way out is to purchase Soho Organizer which is compatible, even when running on Snow Leopard, it will correctly handle Contacts and Calendars from iCloud. $100, 2 user license.

When I downloaded Firefox 4, nothing from my previous version stuck, I have nothing, no bookmarks, passwords -- I really dislike Firefox 4

I have used Firefox for many, many years. Happily, blissfully. Then Firefox 4.0 comes along. Now everything has changed and my entire dashboard experience has been dashed. First of all, when I downloaded Firefox 4.0, none of the settings, bookmarks or passwords from my previous Firefox transferred. Then somehow a Yahoo search bar got loaded on, I never authorized that, not a Yahoo fan. So I reloaded Firefox 4 in safe mode without my add ons. Maybe that wiped everything out. It made me log on to Gmail each time, refused to remember my password. All of my newspaper tabs were gone. I had nothing except a new browser that had never seen me before. I got frustrated and tried to restore the old 3.6 version. So I uninstalled Firefox 4. But I did'nt check that box about removing personal data. Anyway, where do I go from here? I even out of frustration downloaded Google Chrome which I am using at the moment. I really resist MS Explorer. I always run No Script, and only Firefox allows that, keeps me safe. So at the moment, my years of bookmarks are somewhere I don't know where. I could download Firefox 4.0 again I guess. Please work with me. I must confess that I really do not like this new Firefox, you changed the whole look. But, I am not a Cretan and will work with you if you can direct me. If my bookmarks are gone, sadly, I can live with it. I had like 30 news tabs, but I can go grab them again. Dan 602-476-1977

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

Why have ad windows, identified as being generated by Firefox, become so frequent and intrusive?

Specifically: Ad windows (saying they are generated by Firefox) have increased to the point of being way too intrusive. They have started to become unbearingly annoying for about a month, give or take a week... or so. (obviously I have no idea how long but they have become really frequent and intrusive "lately.") Example is the TV Guide page. Say it's up and running and I go over and change the time/day schedule. When I click on "Go" I won't get the schedule, the Firefox ad window is the only page that opens. When this happens frequently on this and other pages, it has become intrusive and annoying and could possibly lead to checking out other browsers.
I understand you guys and ladies are all volunteers and donate your considerable talents for the right reasons. This will always make me hesitant to change browsers. Thank you for your efforts. (but is there a way you can make the ads less in-your-face? )

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />

Why o why does my cimputer say uopdayte now to latest Firefox Version and then say add ons like SKYPE etc will not work with new version . I di not understand .o

as above

Many add-ons work only with a particular range of Firefox versions. After the upgrade, Firefox will attempt to find new compatible versions. This is not always possible.
To determine whether an add-on you can't live without has a version for Firefox 11, you can check the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Add-ons site] or try this add-on to make that a little easier (I haven't tried it myself): [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/ Is It Compatible? :: Add-ons for Firefox].
By the way, many recent posts report problems with Skype add-ons, so you might want to research here if you notice any strange copy/paste problems.

How do I delete my Bookmarks on a Macbook Pro? According to the directions on "Help" it says to open the Bookmark icon and delete from the right. I don't see anything on the right.

I have opened the Bookmark Icon. I see individual bookmarks on the left side of my computer screen. There isn't anything on the right side of my screen so how do I remove my Bookmarks?

Highlight the Bookmark...hit the delete key.

Why have mac OS 10.5.8 printer settings been restricted in Firefox

When I call for a printing of a page in Firefox, my Epson NX420 will no longer allow plain paper as a media option in printer settings, but only photo and presentation papers; and it allows only the Best Photo option under Print Quality. In both cases, other options are grayed out. Gray Scale is also grayed out.
Why have the grayed-out options become unavailable in Firefox (but not, e.g., in Chrome)? How can I restore them?

Try updating to the latest 23.0.1 version of Firefox, and see how it is.

Bookmark all tabs missing in Firefox 4.01?

I have used the 'bookmark all tabs' function in Firefox for several years. I just recently upgraded to FF 4.01 (I really like it BTW) but the bookmark all tabs menu item is missing. Please advise if there is another way to accomplish this function.
Thanks, RW

Some menu entries are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F or Alt+B to open the "File" and "Bookmarks" menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

Why do my homepage settings change to a site I do not want every time I shutdown Firefox - EVEN THOUGH I have gone through the process of saving the site I really want?

I am desparate to set my homepage to http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en
However, even after manually setting it to the site I want, every time I restart Firefox it has reverted to http://www.searchqu.com/406
I have tried every solution that I have found in Firefox help, but to no avail.
I have only recently changed to Firefox and am impressed with the way it works with this one exception, which is driving me mad.
PLEASE, PLEASE can anyone out there help?

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

Why have some of my bookmark icons become generic, just a rectangle surrounded by a dotted line?

I had to dig a bit to figure out your cryptic reply, but I did finally get to the bottom of the mystery of Firefox's generic icons. Thanks.
