Home Page "favicons" mostly stuck on generic after fresh Win 11 install.
I installed Firefox on a fresh Win 11 install, and most of the the favicons are still generic on the Home Page several days later. Facebook, Ebay and Youtube are the only ones that appear consistently, sometimes other will display, but then be gone again the next time the app is launched. All other links just have the generic letter icons.
I tried deleting the 3 favicon files in the Profiles folder, but it did nothing. I've tried manually re-adding the links, still nothing. I removed the "S" from "https;//" and still nothing. The favicons all show up on my other machines which use Firefox on the same user account, so it is not a problem with the websites themselves.
Not sure if its related, but upon installing Firefox on this machine, it made Firefox on my Mac desktop absolutely freak out. I had to make a significant number of changes over the course of hours to fix everything, so many relating to favicons alone that I don't know what actually fixed it.
What else can I do to try and get these working? Why does Firefox apparently struggle with this particular feature across multiple OSes?
Thanks.

Hello?
If this forum is dead, where should I go for support?
Thanks.
Try to open every bookmark or shortcut to refresh their favicon?

I've tried that numerous times, no luck.
Anyone? Or do I just need to accept this feature is permanently broken?
