Icons missing in the Bookmarks menu

Icons (favicons) for bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu may be missing after updating to Firefox 9.

To restore them:

In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.

In the filter section type, image.mem.decodeondraw

Double-click the entry that results to change it's value to "False"

Close the tab

thank you

Solved! Freakin' amazin'!! Wizards like ideato will rule the universe!! Thanks, ideato.

Huh? I'm confused by this answer......

more clear

type in the address bar about:config

then press the button i'll be careful i promise

then type in the bar image.mem.decodeondraw

then Double-click on it, to make it false

exit firefox and restart-it.

thanks again

This solution did not work for me. I am running OS X 10.6.6. When I installed Firefox 8.0 the favicons disappeared. I just installed 9.0 and prayed they'd return. They did not. I followed the instructions given by Ideato. No change. Favicons still missing. I Quit and Restarted Firefox. Still no favicons. I miss my favicons.

You can try to restore them with this extension if setting the image.mem.decodeondraw pref to false isn't sufficient.

I installed the addon per instructions and restarted Firefox and STILL no favicons.

Did you open the preferences of that extension and choose to restore/rebuild the favicons?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
