hello, firefox is making backups of your bookmarks for the last 5 days - see if you can restore it that way - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing-up-restoring-bookmarks#w_res...

Do you mean that your Bookmarks' icons are not displaying ??

This extension has a feature to restore missing Favicons -> CheckPlaces

Check and tell if its working.

Do you mean the icon on the desktop or task bar?

Try to rebuild the Windows icon cache.

  • Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
  • In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
  • Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
  • Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
  • Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
  • After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
