Hello
These are questions look like your question:
I listed three because in these old questions there are many idea to get back the icons, maybe one help you, good luck!!

You can try to toggle the Boolean pref browser.shell.shortcutFavicons on the about:config page.
thank you but I am a simple user of PCs .
I just would like to keep the icon from any specific site I visit when I move it into bookmarks and then move it to my desktop for a quick access later....... For example: https://particuliers.societegenerale.fr/
I would like to keep the red and black symbol/icon that appears on the upper left corner of this site, and also in the bookmarks when I bookmark this site. But when I move the bookmark (as an Internet link to click on) to my desktop this icon changes to a Mozilla icon.
I tried to use your suggestion and I do not think that this is a solution I can use for my particular problem Vernon

I think that if you move the bookmark to your desktop you will need to create a ico file because the shortcut in desktop is a shortcut to firefox and firefox understand that shortcut is a link to a site
Did you try to toggle the browser.shell.shortcutFavicons pref that I mentioned in my above reply?
You can open the about:config page via the location bar.
Let me give a comparison....
1. With Internet Explorer I go to the following site. https://particuliers.societegenerale.fr/
2. I add this site to my favorites lists.
3. I open my favorite list and I see next to the link an Icon from the site (red and black flag)
4. I drag this entry to the desktop, or into a folder on the desktop, and the red and black SocGen icon stays with the link and does not change to a Firefox icon.
5. I'd like to do that with Mozilla if I can Vernon
