Favicon problem with FF8
I have updated my Firefox and I have a problem with the new FF8. So, there is a only a square on the tab of a site instead of picture icon next to the name of the site. What's the problem?
Thanks!
(and apologize my english)

Ok. I fixed it. I had to disable the Favicon Picker extension because it was interfering with it. It works fine now.

That can happen if the site doesn't have a favicon.
In older versions you used to get a folder icon in such a case, but now you see an square.
See:
Add code to userChrome.css in the chrome folder below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#page-proxy-favicon:not(src),
.tab-icon-image:not(src) {
list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/icons/folder-item.png")!important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px, 16px, 16px, 0px)!important;
}
But these sites had icon in FF7. For example, Facebook. It had a favicon, but in FF8 there is only a square.
Try the CheckPlaces extension.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
It doesn't matter. Favicons won't show in the address bar or on the tab weather the site has a favicon or not. I ran CheckPlaces and it's still doing it. Maybe I'll try deleting places.sqlite to see if that works.
Interestingly, they still show in the bookmarks menu and history.
I just tried deleting it. Same problem.
