How do I get the website icons to be in the bookmark entry?
The bookmark sidebar used to automatically insert the website icon in front of the bookmark entry for most sites. I upgraded to Firefox 9 and now it doesn't seem to do this even for sites that used to get the entry. How do I make the icon attach itself to the entry? Maxine r.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can try the CheckPlaces another time after you've deleted the places files and that still didn't bring the favicons back.

Try:
- Bookmark Favicon Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-favicon-changer/
Checkplaces did n't make any difference. The favicon changer isn't what I want since I don't want to do this manually for every bookmark.

Replaced the places files and ran Checkplaces again. Icons are back.New ones seem to show up. Thanks for your help. maxine r.
