firefox is my browser. i have windows 11. all of my web (not app) shortcut icons on desktop are the white blank page icon. i used to see the icons for the sources -- the newspapers, etc. none of the standard windows fixes for this have worked. was there a firefox policy change that causes this? i Free Up Space to Onedrive for everything on desktop, but even when I apply Keep on This Device, the source icons still don't appear, so I don't think Onedrive is the issue. in some unsynced folders on the PC, web links appear with a generic blue planet icon, which is as generic as the white page icons on the desktop. I've tried the fixes for windows 11 but none of them have worked. any ideas of a firefox fix for this? thanks!

A screenshot of the issue would have been helpful, but it sounds like you have windows issue and not a browser issue. Try this and see if it helps. how to reset windows icon cache

You can also verify that Firefox is your default app. Also try to toggle "browser.shell.shortcutFavicons" on the about:config page to see if that has effect.
