All the icons in my Bookmark Toolbar have been working great with no errors for several years, through countless updates with no problem. Then, recently I noticed all the icons lost the color icons and just show as a wire globe. Clicking on them, any one of them, they all go to the same website. If I remove them, got to the website I want there, and drag the URL to the bookmark bar, things are back to normal for that icon. So I replaced each one, and the next day, when I open Firefox, all the icons are again wire globes. It seems that Firefox will not retain the URL for any of the icons.

Very strange.

Ed, it might be worth checking the integrity of your Places Database files, which are where Firefox stores bookmarks and their icons. To do this:

  1. Go to Help menu (press alt+H).
  2. Select "More Troubleshooting Information".
  3. On the page that opens, scroll down to "Places Database" and press the "Verify Integrity" button.
  4. Once the check has finished, Look for any lines in the report that startt with a "-" or that contain the term "error".

If any errors are reported, try restarting Firefox and re-running the integrity check to see if Firefox was able to fix them after the first check. You may want to repeat this 'restart and re-check' process again if errors are still found.

I did run the integrity check and found no errors. It seems to be a random action, as sometimes I can go for a few days, (closing Firefox each day), without a problem, and then, the next time I open Firefox, all I have are wire framed globes, and they either do not work at all (nothing happens when clicked), or they will all go to the same random website. I have no trouble when using Windows Edge, all the favorites are there and work appropriately, so it is just related to FF. I would hate to stop using it, because I am so used to how it works, and I am very relaxed with it, but if I can't find a solution to this, then I will have to remove it. I can't keep re-doing all my favorites icons each day.
