Waterfox adds favicons to bookmarks

Post by Anonymosity »

How do I stop Waterfox from adding favicons to bookmarks? I have set the about:config setting for site icons to false and I also added a setting to block favicons with a user.js file and that got put into prefs.js as well. The browser still wants to add the icons. Would adding a setting to limit the image icons max size to 0 do the trick?

I finally found the solution. There is a file in the profile called favicons.sqlite. Deleting it, then starting and closing Waterfox, and then locking the file to make it read-only got rid of the favicons.

That was already set. It did not stop the favicons.

it prevents loading of favicons (also in tab) and storing. already present favicons are still used.
