• Firefox shortcut icon error after upgrading to 7.0

  I have upgrade my Firefox 7.0, but the shortcut icon is changed not like it used to be, but it resembled an icon of the installer. When I clicked it, it opens Firefox browser very well without any errors. Why is it happening and how to fix?

  Thanks a lot before.

  Try resetting the Windows icon cache.

  • Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
  • In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
  • Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
  • Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
  • Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete on the shortcut menu to delete the file.
  • After that the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.
  • It is possible that the IconCache.db file is a hidden file, and in this case you must enable the display of hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing above mentioned as follows.

• Private browsing on right context menu on the shortcut icon of Mozilla's Firefox on MS Win XP

  I am already aware that the Mozilla Firefox browser has the ability to always start Firefox in private browsing mode by putting the brand into its Options on...

  However, I noticed that on MS Win 7 OS, we can run Mozilla Firefox browser directly, by clicking on the right click (context menu right) on Mozilla's Firefox shortcut icon (for example in Windows taskbar and Start Menu) and here are the options available immediately: 'Enter private browsing', 'New tab' and 'open a new fenΩtre '.

  Now, my question is, can I do something that has the same options (or at least 'option to Enter private browsing), is also available on that even just before the track described as on MS Win 7 OS, but the MS Win XP operating system also?

  Thank you in advance for help!
  Best regards!

• Since the update of the 16 to 17, shortcuts to office created by dragging show generic Windows icon instead of the Firefox-page icon.

  During the upgrade of the FF 16 or 17, I can always drag the icon that is to the left of the url on the desktop (or even quick launch of XP, shortcuts to files, etc.) to create an internet shortcut to the current page. However, with 17 this method produces a shortcut that shows a generic Windows icon instead of a Firefox-page icon. Even if a generic Windows icon shows normally "no associated program," these always open with FF when double-clicked. But it does not look good. (BTW, all of the shortcuts created by this method in FF 16 or less preserved the FF-page 17 updated icon.)

  No idea why this has changed and how to fix it so that it looks the same as before?

  Pending the resolution of the present (and another question) I went back to 16 FF, and it works normally again. However, shortcuts that were created while I had 17 always display the generic Windows icon.

• When I click on my desktop shortcut icons in the new firefox 4 I get a dialog box that indicates that windows does not find that the website

  I have improved the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons I used with the previous version display a pop-up dialog box that says that windows does not find this website, check the spelling - address - etc. But immediately after this window opens the Web site loads. I tried to load the original site, delete the old shortcut and drag the new shortcut to my desktop, but Firefox always gives me the same message.

• Download gTranslate extension. How can I place a shortcut icon on the taskbar module at the bottom of the page so that I can use it?

  I added the gTranslate for Firefox extension. It is clearly shown in the list of current extensions that I have. I tried to place a shortcut icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the page module (back side where the page zoom-in/zoom icons are displayed).

  Procedure, I used: right click on the empty space on the toolbar at the bottom of page module. Click "Customize". Opens the square shape of the icons, but I don't see anything for the extension of gTranslate, I could "drag / drop" on the toolbar of the add-on.

  Ask for help with this issue.

  gTranslate not icons. You must select the text, right-click and hover the mouse over the menu item translate... and wait that the translated text to appear. You can also change languages in the submenu, or alternatively via Firefox Tools (Alt + T) > Addons > Extensions, gTranslate Options.

• I created my firefox shortcut to go directly to the Profile Manager. I got it for years. All of a sudden it has stopped working

  Hello

  I can't get my firefox shortcuts to go directly on the Profile Manager. I don't know why. I know I have the target correctly configured in the properties, but he still won't be going to the nursery to profile. Help, please.

  Here is what is the location of the target in the properties:

  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla"-profilemanger

  I have not had a problem yet. Did that for about two years. This most recent update erased the "profilemanager" - no-remote-p. I added it waala and back in! Out of service again.

  But duly noted. Thanks for the tips.

• Firefox all 31 changes PDF icons for Firefox HTML icons that I can't change it back, this is corrected? Using Windows XP...

  Once installed Firefox 31 he sees all PDFs in Firefox HTML files and all PDF icons change to Firefox HTML icons. This change may not be reversed without uninstalling Firefox.
  Only the icon is changed, not the. PDF extension.

  This can happen if there is no default application that handles PDF files.

  _{To resolve this problem, you can re-associate the PDF files to the application that you want to use.

• Mozilla firefox shortcuts Web site is down. The date limit is about to end in a few hours and I can't upload my entry. What should I do?

  Nice day! I'm Ian Abaya, and I would like to learn more about the Mozilla Firefox shortcuts site internal server error. I'm already downloading my entry for the contest this afternoon, but after I clicked 'next', the server went down, and I couldn't access the site anymore. I am aware that the competition is until 23:59 on 31 July in PST, when I was downloading my entry it was only 03:00 PST on July 31. I'm afraid that the server would be down to the date of the deadline and I won't be able to present my video entry that I and my team have been very passionate and spent our time, effort, and resources to produce from now, it is already 04:58 31 July in PST. I hope that there is something that can be done on it, thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

• Firefox shortcut on the desktop displays a padlock. -What this means and how do I get rid of him?

  The Firefox shortcut on my desktop displays a padlock. He didn't have this earlier today and I have no idea where it came from or what it means. When Firefox is opened with this shortcut to the page is then framed in red. Does anyone know what caused this and how get rid of?

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  Today is about 30 minutes ago

  Maybe your security software (antivirus, firewall) blocking Firefox.
  Have you looked into the settings there?

• Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

  Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
  Seems silly, but I can't find it!

  Hello

  Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
  There should be a tab named Notification area.

  In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
  You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
  In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

  In some cases, these options may be grayed out
  In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

  and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

• How can I delete a shortcut icon

  My laptop screen is too small for the size of the shortcut icons.  I have a few icons that I no longer use and useful to remove them.  I don't know if removing them, I can access the information.  For example, I want to keep my security information, I just the icon always on my screen - or do I?

  A shortcut is just a pointer to the program or file in question - this is not the program or the file itself.  You can safely remove them without damaging what they are 'in view '. Just be sure that you always know how to view the file or the program later if you need it and it's certainly a shortcut.

  In addition, if you right-click on an empty area of your desktop, and select view, then you can change the size of your icons. This may mean that you don't need to remove your shortcuts.
