Hello,

Is there a way to force bookmark icons to show up in the web browser? I need to know, as it really bothers me to have the grey globe icon showing up. Thanks,

Brian

Normally it should be sufficient to use the bookmark and visit the webpage to make Firefox retrieve the favicon.

If that doesn't work then maybe check for issues with places.sqlite ans favicons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.

This could be a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use the "Places Database" -> "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.
