This question was archived 2 years ago but none of the replies answered the question. I have the same problem.

(1) I placed a favicon.ico on my website and it eventually was correctly displayed both in tabs and the bookmarks tool bar (2) I didn't like how it looked and so created a new favicon.ico which I downloaded to my website. (3) Tabs are now correctly showing the new favicon (4) The bookmarks tool bar is showing the old favicon.

Nothing that I have tried changes the bm toolbar favicon. What I have tried are (a) Restarting Firefox (running on Windows XP) (b) Installing the extension FaviconReloader

What else can I do to get Firefox to display the new favicon on the bookmarks toolbar?

I found a FireFox add-on that does the trick called Bookmark Favicon Changer 2.23
