why are suddenly all my bookmarks blank, (mostly imported from IE) instead of showing sites default favicon.

it used to be ok before

i would prefer to have this automatically loaded for all existing bookmarks

(also, once fixed can that be stored with my preferences to be synced online?)

i may have found the answer:

The problem was with Ad Muncher it has a setting which i was not aware of. i turned it off to check something else and suddenly favicons started showing up.

the setting is in AdMuncher's Options | filtering tab:

Prevent sites changing bookmark/address icons


un-checking it solved the problem! (for IE9 too)
