Almost all of my bookmark links having working pictures next to them except for the two I just added; IMDB.com is one, so that should show up and it is just a blank piece of paper.

I have several little bookmark icons for different websites that I go to frequently. Every single one of them has a little working picture next to it; except the two I've just added. I know that some websites don't have that feature, but I know that both of them do because when I go to that website the little picture appears. But then when I close my browser and reopen it, they are blank pieces of paper again. That doesn't happen to my other icons!

The Favicon should be set the first time you use each of those new bookmarks.

Have you used those new bookmarks yet? I mean click on each bookmark and let each page load completely. The image should have appeared next to the bookmark as the page finished loading.

I just had no problem with Firefox saving the favicon image for IMBd, with any of the 5 methods that can be used to save a new bookmark in Firefox. The source code for their pages has 6 different favicon.ico images listed for various types of devices that might be used to access that website, plus it has the traditional favicon.ico in the root directory of their server which is the best method for Firefox to use.

Sorry, I can't see any reason why Firefox wouldn't save that image for you on the first use of each bookmark.
