Upgrade to 54.0, lost the faveicons on my bookmarks, the only addon to fix them automatically stopped working somewhere around v45. Discover that I can "fix" the isue by visiting a site from the bookmark.

Spend extensive time fixing things.

Upgrade to 54.01, ALL Faveicons gone again. Seriously? Really?! Seriously?!?

Hi   !

That must be so annoying   (to say the least)  !

Would you give this add-on a try :

Firefox 55 uses a separate favicons.sqlite database to store the favicons and is less likely to suffer from losing them. Older Firefox versions stored the favicons in places.sqlite, so you would lose them in case of problems with this file.

Thanks Happy112,

I have installed it but cannot figure out how to make it work, all it is doing is displaying the faveicon instead of the forward button, how do I make it restore all the faveicons on my bookmarks?
