I have synced my 2 laptops, but there are no logos beside my bookmarks on the new list. How do I get them there?

After using the sync feature to sync my two laptops' add-ons, preferences, BOOKMARKS, etc., I have small blank squares beside all of my bookmarks in the new PC, but none of the logos that appear next to bookmarks on my old PC. The old one ( that I DO still use on occasion ) is running Windows 7, and the new one; Windows 8.1., Just in case that information needs to be included here.

How do I get the corresponding logos to appear next to the bookmarks on the new PC, instead of just blank squares?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Do you see the FavIcon Reloader extension on the about:addons page?

  • Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions

You can find "Reload Favorites Icons" in the Bookmarks menu. FavIcon Reloader: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/faviconreloader/

The favicons for bookmarks aren't synchronized via the Sync service. They should appear after you use each bookmark. Or you can use this extension to load them all. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/faviconreloader/

Thank you for your help. But there is still some kind of problem. I go to the link you gave me, click on "add to firefox", then "install now", "restart now", then I get a temporary black screen, just like the normal restart look, then right back to the "add to Firefox" in add-ons. It's like going in circles, and I'm lost. Do you have any suggestions?

I did find the favicon add-on in the about:addons page, but I had already downloaded it from the Firefox apps page, clicking "add to Firefox". I see the add-on in my add-ons list, it is enabled, I have even restarted my PC, but it's nowhere to be found in my bookmarks menu, nor any other bookmark category. Although it says I have it installed, I cannot locate the thing , and make it work.

Sorry for taking so doggone long to reply guys, but thanks for the help. I had to jump through a few more "hoops", but eventually, I got my favicons back. Thanks to the both of you very much.
