Some favicons missing with Classic Theme Restorer

I use Classic theme restorer and one of the functions I'm using is showing the favicons.

However, I got my computer checked/cleaned last week and added memory, and after that I noticed that maybe a fifth of favicons of the pages I've been using/are in bookmarks don't appear any more. Those pages that are bookmarked and have been used before still have their favicons in bookmarks and they appear in history, but pages that haven't been opened before don't have them and those don't appear in history either.

So, basically, does anyone have ideas how to get all favicons appear again? I've restored defaults, removed/restored Theme Restorer, reloaded Firefox. No effect. Ideas what could work? KK

There is a Classic Theme Restorer support thread over here. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2827985&start=2025

Made the same question there, but the closest answer I got is:

"There might be (caching, connection, etc.) issues with some sites in some cases resulting in icons not being displayed/loaded correctly, but this is not CTRs fault. If Firefox fails to display favicons in tabs, CTR can't duplicate them inside location bar."

So, anyone got ideas? KK
