recover "icons" in bookmarks

Post by newmarket2 »

I had to reinstall FF and my bookmarks in the left column have lost their distinctive "icons" [I know they're called something else, but they're little images that are unique to the site]
can I recover them? or turn them on?
I thought by visiting a site the icon might reappear but it didn't

If you still have your old Firefox profile, simply copy/paste the favicons.sqlite file into the new profile, replacing the existing one. Once you restart Firefox your favicons should reappear.
