    Resolved [RESOLVED] Firefox favicons missing

    I have many folders and subfolders in my Bookmarks, and the favicons for the 1,987 bookmarks helped me navigate faster. I switched to Waterfox for a few months to keep my XUL extensions. When I reopened FF yesterday, I copied the newest places.sqlite from WF to FF, and all the favicons in FF disappeared. Going to a site brings back each, one. at. a. time.

    Waterfox Classic/Chrome / Firefox 115esr

    Did you also copy over the favicons.sqlite?

    Next time, you could do an export of your bookmarks.html instead.
    Go to Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
    Click Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML...
    Click Save
    (bookmarks.html will be created)
    To import, go to Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
    Click Import and Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML...
    Browse to bookmarks.html, and click Open

    You'd need to use the HTML bookmarks, because .json bookmark backups don't save favicons.
