Some favicons are not exported to HTML

When bookmarks are exported to HTML using firefox's export feature, some of the entries in HTML file do not contain the ICON_URI and ICON attributes, even though the bookmarks show favicons in bookmark menu, bookmark toolbar, bookmark sidebar and everywhere else. The favicons.sqlite also contains the data BLOB for these bookmarks. Then why are they not showing up in the HTML file?

I have tried removing the bookmark and adding again, deleting caches, disabling addons, using another profile and copying the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite from my profile. Nothing worked so far.

It's always the same bookmarks that show this behavior, so i also tried using another profile to bookmark the same website and export to HTML. It still did not work.

I have the latest Firefox version.

Update: The problem does not seem specific to exported HTML. I checked the backup JSON file and it too doesn't contain "iconuri" for the same bookmarks.

Can you find any messages in Firefox's Browser Console? Non-fatal errors might not be noted, but it's worth a look.

You can open the separate Browser Console window using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Web Developer > Browser Console
  • (menu bar) Tools > Web Developer > Browser Console
  • (Windows) Ctrl+Shift+j

Click the trash can icon at the upper left to clear the window, then return to the Library and export again.

Then switch back over to the console window. Did Firefox log any errors related to the export?

More info on the Browser Console: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Browser_Console

Console gave few errors. I don't know what they mean.

Hmm, the messages are not specific to exporting. The first doesn't seem relevant at all. The second is related to laying out the Library window when it first loads. I actually get those same two errors from opening the Library window.

So whatever it going on with the icons, it must be something allowed for in the code, for example, skipping it under certain circumstances.
