Where has the bookmark property for specifying the icon gone?

In FF3 if I selected a bookmark and its properties, I was provided a field where I could specify the location on my PC for the desired icon for that bookmark. This was particularly true for specifying the icons for the Bookmarks Toolbar. I have the TotalToolbar v1.9.1 extension installed, but I am not sure that that extension gave me that capability for FF3. In FF4 there is no such property for bookmarks to specify, or change, the icon. One step back.

This issue is caused by an extension that isn't working in Firefox 4

You can look at this extension:

You can try this add-on; it is Firefox 4 compatible:




You need to update the following:

  • Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.8.612
  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_24 for Mozilla browsers (version 1.6.0_25 is available for download, but is not available through manual update yet)
  1. Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
  2. Update Shockwave for Director
    • NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
    • Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
    • When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
    • locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
    • Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.
    • Download link and more information: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Shockwave+plugin+with+Firefox
  3. Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

The Bookmarks Favicon Changer add-on gave me the capability that I had before to change the bookmark toolbar icons. Thanks! I did not use this add-on for FF3, before, but it gets the job done.

You are welcome. Bookmark Favicon Changer is a new add-on; it was developed to be compatible with Firefox versions 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0.

So that other users can find solutions to previously asked Firefox support questions, please take a couple of minutes to return to the forum, sign in and click "Solved" next my answer. Thanks.
