Hello

Favicons (seems, all image/x-icon images) in the bookmarks sidebar located in a separate folder are not drawn after the start Firefox 36+ and opening the folder. They become visible only if you move the mouse over them. This effect tested in the new profile of Firefox with and w/о safe mode. What can I do to fix the problem?

Note that if you create a bookmark by pasting its URL in the location field instead of clicking the star on the Navigation Toolbar doesn't guarantee that the bookmark gets a favicon. You would normally have to use the bookmark to make Firefox retrieve the favicon if it is missing. If hovering the bookmark in the sidebar trigger this as well then you may be lucky.
