You bookmark something. It shows that little emblem to the left of the of the website. Following me? Say youtube. I book mark a channel it says it is youtube. but the emblem is cnn's. Some stay as the youtube emblem and others change to the cnn logo. A couple are that tabloid site Daily mail. I remove the book marks and start over but it will always go back to that emblem.

Chosen solution

Try to rename/remove favicons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

This will remove all the favicons, so you will have to click each bookmark to make Firefox retrieve the favicon from the server.

Did you check it's properties to see if it isn't linking to the site to update the icon?
