I just got a new computer and installed the newest version of Firefox (9/4/2015) on it. I synced my bookmarks from my previous machine, and all is good except the icons for all of my bookmarks, are gone. I used the extensively, and those are all gone. Where I retained the name, that text shows up, but the graphic icons aren't there.

There is a support answer regarding Windows 7, but it involves closing Windows Explorer and I'm certain the file locations are different (in fact, I looked: it said to delete iconcache.db, and there is no such folder anywhere in Windows 10.

Does anyone have any idea how I can restore them? Thank you.

Sync doesn't synchronize bookmark favicons, they will be acquired as you use each bookmark for the first time on the new installation.
