Icon displaying with you pin a Bookmark - where is it stored?
Hi: When I pin a tab, I have noticed the ICON of the Bookmark shows. I really like that.
But I wondered where are all these icons saved too? / stored?

I ask for 2 reasons
> am a curious cat
> and I have have been trying to reload all the fav icons using the fav icon reloader addon. but it never finishes.. takes heaps of grunt power so I cannot really use my macbook when it is going. I cannot seem to reorder the list, select only the ones I really want rather than all my bookmarks.... Now I am thinking, there must be a much better way.

Hi helpresearch, I understand that you would like to know where the ico files are stored and if there is a better way to refresh/update them.
All I could find was that not all favicons are stored in memory. Most of them look like they are in the cache. Search the Mozilla code release: http://lxr.mozilla.org
For windows: "Firefox program icons are stored in your Firefox program directory. Firefox extension icons are stored in your Firefox profile. Most of these icons are stored within various .ja" http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1729005
The add on you mentioned is the work around that is suggested, but I would be happy to look for another. see a few here
Bookmark and History favicons are stored as BLOB data in the places.sqlite database file.
You can use the SQLite Manager extension ti inspect SQLite databases.
