After updating to 8.0 the icons on my tabs are all blank except for FF icons. No other websites show any icons on the tabs only a blank box.

Do you see favicons on the location bar?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Thanks for the clue cor-el. Turns out "Favicon Picker 2" was the culprit. Disabled the add-on and all my icons are back.
