My Firefox icon has changed and I'm not sure of what it is in the mode.

My Firefox icon is an icon, I have seen before with three red and green and a page of tour top right. I was in my program list the other day and hit something in Firefox on accident. Please, help me to understand what that means. Is my browser in private mode or another parameter, I had not asked? Thank you.

You can change the icon using the context menu > properties.

You can check for problems with the Windows icon cache and trying to rebuild the icon cache.

  1. Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
  2. In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
  3. Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
  4. Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
  5. Select the IconCache.db file and use 'Remove' from the context menu to remove the file.
  6. After that the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.

The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure you can see hidden files.

    Thanks for posting with us.  I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly.  If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration."   If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow.  Here are the instructions for these suggestions.  Post back with the results.

    Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.

    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".

    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Favorite is the end of Firefox. Favorite is the term of IE. Same thing, different name.

    my wifi password has been changed and now I want to get back in touch with the new password HOW

    Hey gerritfrompretoria,

    If you are not prompted to use the new password to your Wi - Fi network when trying to connect, you may have to remove the network on your system. This can be done by the following steps.

    1. Open system preferences in the Apple menu
    2. Choose the network
    3. Select a Wi - Fi connection on the left
    4. Click Advanced... in the bottom right
    5. Choose your network from the list of preferred networks
    6. Click on the '-' at the bottom of the list
    7. Click OK
    8. Click on apply

    Once removed try to connect to your Wi - Fi network normally and you will be prompted for the password.

    Sincerely
