How do I get website specific icons instead of generic icon display in Bookmarks?

Hi, Some websites with their Bookmarks display their specific icons, while others only generic ones (Blue circle on white squares). With the earlier versions no such problem existed. I'm referring to an example like amazon.com, which displays only a generic type as opposed to IE. Their functionality is not affected, only the esthetics. Any suggestion(s) for solution? Thank you

Hi,

You could install the bookmark favicon changer addon bookmarkfavicon changer or identicons addon to automatically generate favicons for sites without one IdentFavIcon

Hope this helps, if not do let me know.

Thanks!

Hi, Thank you for the reply. Installed the IdentFavIcon, in its option pasted the selected website address, favicon to be generated always and OK-ed it. Upon visiting the selected website again the generic icon remained the same. Please see the attached files/screen shots. My computer experience limited, what I do wrong? Thank you.

You can check the browser.chrome.* prefs on the about:config page and reset user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.

  • browser.chrome.favicons
  • browser.chrome.site_icons

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
