In Firefox 1.5 (possibly earlier), you can have a bookmark toolbar. Some of them have icons beside them to make them look pretty. The icon is the same beside the URL. But for some websites, when I bookmark them to the bookmark toolbar, the icon doesnt appear, or does after several visits to their website it finally does.
For example, this website has a greenish icon beside it, and I had it bookmarked to the toolbar before, and it was green. I removed it and put it back on, and it isn't showing the green icon yet. And I'm not sure if it will.
Is there any way at all to customize/modify the mini-icons in the bookmark toolbar? PS I don't like having a blank page as an icon, that's why I'm complaining. It looks horrible and I don't want it in that toolbar if it has that dumb blank page icon. |

| Yeah, I know what you mean, happens to me sometimes too. It may have something to do with the icon being cached first, before it shows up, but that's really just a guess. It's not really that important though, is it? |

well since firefox is open source - just replace the blank page icon you don't like so much with another image  |

Chances are the icons are stored as resource files. You can use a program called Resource Editor (or something similar) to change it, or modify the source/resources directly.
Alternatively, as previously hinted to, clean out your cache and reload the page. Typically browsers miss recaching some things when changed. |

actually they are probably stores as .ico files in your cache...
Actually I lied; they are stored as numbered, extensionless files in your cache directory. |
