So much trouble I thought and tried the following with Firefox 3.5: 1) opened Organize Bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B), 2) searched browser history for pages of the sites I wanted to refresh the favicon for, 3) deleted those pages from History, 4) restarted Fx. Worked for me. Found this via G. So much trouble I thought and tried the following with Firefox 3.5:

AND IF NOTHING ELSE WORKS?! (sorry.. exasperated.) I've tried pretty much everything anyone has suggested and favicons still wont show up for wikipedia, facebook, anilinkz, and more. I would deal, except I like to keep my bookmarks toobar as just the icons, no text, so I have more room. That doesn't work so well if the icons won't show up. Any ideas/suggestions?

I went in and deleted just the one I wanted rather than the entire batch. Thanks for the article, really helped me out. I went in and deleted just the one I wanted rather than the entire batch.

Install "Delete Bookmark Icons" from http://www.sephiroth-j.de/1/mozilla/index_en.php . You can choose to delete ALL bookmark icons when you go to "Bookmarks", then "Organize Bookmarks", then use the pull down menu from "Organize." You will find an option to delete all bookmark options, or just one bookmark icon. In addition, if you only need to delete one or two icons, then forget going into the whole "Bookmarks" menus. Just right click on any bookmark icon and the right-click menu gives you an option to delete only that icon. The extension/applet deletes only the icon(s), not the bookmark(s). Simple. On another forum, there is a discussion about editing the Firefox configuration files by typing "about:config" in the address bar. You can read the entire discussion at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=268450 . In addition, there is "Favicon Picker" for Macs. By the way, please get rid of the pop-up to subscribe to a newsletter! Just add a link/banner/ad on the left or right of the page. I have just about decided not to return to your web site, because of the nagging pop-up. I believe it is turning more people away, rather than keeping readers. Sorry, just being honest.
