Synced bookmarks to new computer but thumbnail icons didn't come along.

I synced my bookmarks to a new computer but the little identifying thumbnail icons didn't come along. So now there is just a generic empty box next to each until I click on the bookmark, at which point it refreshes with the proper icon. Is there a way to get them all to refresh without having to visit each site? Thanks much.

Try using this addon here. It refreshes favicons (The little identifying thumbnail icons) by using your bookmarks.
