Since my update to v27 all of the Fav icons have dissapeared from my Bookmarks menu and toolbar. How can I get the back?

My fav icons have disappeared from bookmarks. They have been relaced by the empty dotted grey square. When I click on a bookmark in the toolbar sometimes the fav icons reappear but only temporarily. Only 5 out of my 25 bookmark icons have reappeared. I would really like them all back as I rely on my bookmarks toolbar a lot for browsing.

Here's how to fix until we fix it:

1. Go to View, select Toolbars & Customize, in Show select Icons & check small icons, large icons no longer used.

2. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Return. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. #Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. In the filter section type, image.mem.decodeondraw Double-click the entry that results to change it's value to "False"
