How can I add missing icon to the desktop shortcuts
Question too much techno for me... I have several desktop shortcut icons... For most of those who appear as the Mozilla Fox, which is fine, but unfortunately, there are too many icons in Firefox, and I wanted to change some REAL WEB SITE icon, or the favicon. How will I know how to do this? Thank you!
It is not a matter of Firefox making it simple - the Windows operating system controls the desktop icons, so with 3rd party Windows applications automatically use the application for the shortcut icon, but it is possible to change the image of what you want.
If you want the image of the Web site that the site to use for the URL bar as a shortcut on the desktop icon to a Web site:
- Define the shortcut on the desktop.
- Find and save the image you want to use for this shortcut.
- Then right click on that shortcut, then open properties > shortcut on the shortcut menu for the shortcut on the desktop, then use "change icon...". " and "Browse... ". " your hard drive for the image you want to use for the shortcut on the desktop.
Insofar as find and save the Favicon of the site, see the screenshot below.
- Locate the icon on the Info Page > media tab and click on it once so it is highlighted, then view this picture in the preview window of media down and also check the Dimensions 32 x 32, if the image is not a picture of Type X-ICON.
- Then use the button Save under to save this image - name which has saved something unique, as (for example this forum) mozilla - favicon.ico image then you can tell him apart from any other favicon.ico image you may have saved or save.
If you want to use your own choice of an image, you can convert the image into an image to favicon.ico here.

When you create a favicon.ico for use as a desktop image, make sure that you select the option merge with a 32 x 32 desktop icon on this page.

How can I stop my icons on the desktop of reshreshing constantly?
I have a Compaq Presario CQ5300F with windows 7. The desktop icons began to refresh every minute. How can I stop this?
I have never so ranked. I down loaded another stripper 'malware' (called Malware... something, something...) I forgot what it was) that had a 30 day free trial. He removed a number of items. The freshness is stopped. Then, he started again 2 days later, so I removed this malware remover, and I have not had this problem since. I did have this problem what for?... 30 days? 45 days? something like that. I forgot that I had posted here until today when I received this email indicating that a response had been a response.

How can I add an icon to a Web page in my bookmarks bar?
Most Web pages have the coding for the small square icon in the bookmarks toolbar.
Some do not.
How can I add an icon to a Web page that does not have an assigned icon?It saves space for icons rather than a description of the page.
These icons are called the favicons. Unfortunately, there no Firefox builtin feature to customize or change the favicon as the favicon is determined by a line in the HTML code of the site.
There are many addons for Firefox that improve your browsing experience and allow you to make some customizations to Firefox. You can browse the addons of Firefox here.
The only addon that I could find was the Favicon Images bookmarks addon, but it seems that there are some restrictions and you are only allowed to choose an icon from the list of the addon, not a custom image.

This icon is provided by the hardware manufacturer, and is included in the drivers and architecture has no Windows allows to change this information.
