Hello Fred. Thank you for the quick response I was unable to find the browser.chrome.favicons using search in the about:config section. However, I did remove the favicons.sqlite database, restarted Firefox and now they are coming back as I click on each one. Problem is solved, and I appreciate the help and direction. Thank You

You can check these prefs on the about:config page to make sure they are still default.

browser.chrome.favicons

browser.chrome.site_icons

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.
