shortcut icon

.
When I create a shortcut to a URL, how can I make firefox use the icon of this site, rather than the icon of firefox genaric?
.

If you create an internet shortcut in this way this shortcut then gets the icon of the default browser.

If you want a different icon (favicon) then you must assign you this icon for the shortcut on the desktop (right click: properties).

You can usually get the favorite icon if you add 'favicon.ico' to the main area of a website (for example http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display favorite icon in a tab and save this image to a folder or see if you can find it in "tools > Page Info > media.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • display the shortcut icon on the taskbar

    Does anyone know if you can have a shortcut icon in your taskbar instead of the application that it points toward? To clarify, I am not interested in the use of the Quick Launch bar, but the taskbar itself.

    For example: when I launch an application, this APPLICATION icon will appear in the taskbar. However, I have a custom made for this application shortcut icon (I don't like native applications icon) and I want to see MY icon in the taskbar as opposed to native applications icon.

    Is it possible, please let me know?

  • shortcut icons on the desktop

    OK, it is not important, but the names of my shortcut icons on the desktop, suddenly changed - now I have white writing on a gray background.  How to change?

    You can use system restore to roll back the machine back to a point just before that the problem started.

    (Thanks to Alan Edwards for what follows, a search for "icons transparent alan edwards" will always find quickly and easily the solution).

    Four things are needed for the transparent icon backgrounds:

    1. Control Panel-System-Advanced-Performance settings.
    Check "Shadows fall to use the desktop icon labels" on the display
    Effects tab.

    2 - Click on Desktop - "arrange icons by" and ensure the lock Web
    items is disabled.

    3. transparency will not work if you have the web content on your desktop.
    Control panel - display properties Desktop tab - customize the Office-
    Web tab, clear all the check boxes.

    4. ensure that the wallpaper is an image file no HTML.

  • Custom for Windows shortcuts icons

    First one thing I know icons are .ico and .png.
    Supposedly, I can change the icon via the properties of a shortcut.
    When I click on browse in the icon selection window and find my PNG or ICO I get this message:
    " contains all of the icons." ( is the path of the location of the image I chose)
    Windows, icons that work are in the SHELL32.dll file which made me think that I need to somehow make a dll?

    So my question is how can I use images I created in the form of custom icons to my desktop shortcuts, files, and folders?
    I know how to change a files, folders and shortcuts icons, but I can't get the windows collection of icons to work (from SHELL32.dll) and not my own.

    Help me!
