• I have 2 Mozilla Firefox on my desktop. They are both version 41.0.2 - in my installation and delete I find only one. How can I delete one of them?

  I tried to update to Mozilla Firefox and I had another icon on my desktop. Now, I have Mozilla Firefox 2 and they are both Version 41.0.2. They are both exactly the same thing when I open the. I see only one on my add/remove program location so I won't delete it because I could delete them both. Can you help me?

  You can remove one of the office shortcuts if both point to the same firefox.exe in the same Firefox program folder.
  You can keep the one with the correct version information where the other is an older version of Firefox.
  Note that Firefox 42 will come out next week (Tuesday).

• How can I change the color of the title/name under the desktop icons?

  name under the icons on the desktop?  help please!

  How can I change the color of the name/title under the desktop icons, I know how to rename then, but his hard tosee the front they are white outline...

  Hi, Judy,.

  You can change the text size

  Control Panel > type the color scheme

  Select Customize

  Select display (left index finger)

  Under change only the size of text, select icon

  You can also check the option for "BOLD"

  Do not forget to click on apply when finished

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

• 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:

  1. Define the shortcut on the desktop.
  2. Find and save the image you want to use for this shortcut.
  3. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

• The desktop printer icon is no longer shows printer or scanner-controls specific to the

  I have a DeskJet 3050 a J611g all-in-one. I use Windows 7 64-bit.

  Normally, when I doule - click the icon for the printer to my desktop, I get a window that shows the image of the printer and the HP logo at the top with several printer options and specific scanner click on below, for example, to start an analysis.

  A few weeks ago, at the top of this window, I received a message, without doubt, windows, that said that there was an update (or development?) for the printing software, and I want to install it. I clicked on OK, something got quickly downloaded and installed, and this beautiful useful window transformed into a window printer Win7 pretty generic. The printer and scanner-specific options or hp disappeared. I always get the picture of the printer and the hp logo, etc., but in the lower part of this window all I see the following options:

  HP printer Assistant / see what's printing / Set Preferences / customize your printer.

  In addition, by clicking or double-clicking on "HP printer Assistant" does nothing. I can no longer start a scan in this window, for example.

  The desktop printer icon is a shortcut to a program ('C:\Program HP HP Deskjet 3050 a J611 series\Bin\HP Deskjet 3050 a J611 series.exe') which seems to do nothing useful.

  I tried to remove and reinstall the printer software, nothing helps.

  I have downloaded and run the HP print and Scan, ver 3.0 doctor. He detected no downside. Finished, I tried to click on this icon to the desktop printer, and, hooray, I got the correct window with specific options that had disappeared. Great, I thought. I was even able to start a scan of this window. But I could do it only once. Subsequent calls to this program took back me to the generic window. And re - run the doctor no longer curative effect, that it was the first time.

  Everyone knows about this problem? I don't do anything fancy, and I'm quite technical and detailed. I do not know how to begin to understand what happened after I agreed that puts the printer software.

  I answer my own message to indicate that the problem has been resolved, at least for me. I found other threads that describe the problem I have, and one of them said there was a new version of the software that solves this problem. I found it, downloaded and installed, and indeed, the issue is resolved. I'm surprised HP Update did not find the new version, but SpongeBob... Thanks HP for having published the new version of the software.

• Although the home page of Mozilla Firefox uses the Google search engine, whenever I enter something on the address bar, I get Yahoo instead of Google expected search results.

  On the address bar, when I write something, I would get Yahoo instead of Google search results. I don't know how to change it because the Options under the Tools tab do not seem anything which changes the search engine for the address bar.

  There is a hidden preference that you can edit to make it use Browse of Google search of name that has been used in Firefox 3.6

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Locate the preference keyword. URL, double-click it and change its value on the link below

  http://www.Google.com/search?ie=UTF-8 & oe = UTF - 8 & SourceId = navclient & gfns = 1 & q =

  If after changing the preference it is still using Yahoo, there will be an add-on that is the cause. Check for modules of Yahoo and if not necessary to uninstall them. If you have the add-on of net assistant freeze.com , which can cause research go to Yahoo, uninstall this add-on - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

• When I click on the Moilla button on my desktop, the firefox start page appears, so does Mozilla no button to access print, history. options etc, it just says: start mozilla firefox at the top page. RT page tc.

  When I click the Mozilla icon on my desktop, a mozilla firefox start page developed that has NO mozilla button to click and access the characters, story, options, etc. Also the entire page shifts automatically down a bit to only show that google question box and no address bar. Also, there was once a place where I could click on pages more accessible, but that disappeared a few weeks before. I have a HP computer and that you never know what will look like the start page.

  Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).
  
  If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.
  
  You can click the maximize button in the upper right to leave the mode full screen or empty space of a right-click on a toolbar and use "exit full screen" or press F11.
