Why has Firefox pinned my g-mail with this symbol instead of the regular icon? 2024-08-03_200538.png

@Porthos, I got the right icon by unpinning then re-pinning. Very strange! lol

Click to expand...
That is Firefox's generic icon for a newly pinned site for which it has yet to find the site's own icon. It's always white on an orange background, and it's the first letter of the pinned site.

You can edit the pinned site and choose a custom icon, if you wish.
For Eleven Forum I use https://www.elevenforum.com/data/assets/logo/192.png

In Firefox, to find a suitable custom icon for any site you are visiting, press Ctrl+i to bring up the Page Info. Then on the Media tab, scroll down until you find one you like. Then right-click on it and copy its URL.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
