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.

Icons on the desktop are normally shortcuts - pointers to programs or
data files, not programs or data files themselves (the small
arrow indicates this is a shortcut). Deleting a shortcut has not
effect on the file it points to-he will always be there.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

Or a plugin for Photoshop Telegraph .ico
http://Telegraphics.com.au/SW/product/ICOFormat
Use the download links on the right side of the page, which is going to be Windows 64-bit for most people (I'm still assuming that you're a Windows user). Open the zip file that contains a
ICOFormat64.8bi
file and the readme.html file that tells you where to look for the file ICOFormat64.8bi. Note: I think you need to make hidden files visible to do this. I'm not also sure if the Readme file contains information as authorized image for icons, but 256 x 256 sizes will be bigger, if my memory is.
Good luck and have fun.

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.

How can I delete a bookmarks icon in my toolbar?
When I updated Firefox by restoring the default, my bookmarks in the bookmarks bar reappears with icons. I had previously removed to shorten the space that each bookmark has taken in the toolbar. Now all my favourites from the toolbar do not fit in the toolbar. I want to go back and delete the icons, but none of the customizations, properties or options have a way to do it.
This can be done through the addon remove the bookmark icons for Firefox.
