Hi. When I restart, the icons from my bookmarks toolbar are reseted (planet icon). They come back only when I visit the page again. How to save the icons from the pages ? Icons are more important than the text to select very quickly !

Hi I have a solution for your problem. I think this is helpful for you.

You need to go to your user account to check and see if the “Favorites” are present in the default folder.

  • To do so, follow these steps.*

1. Press Windows Key + E to open File explorer.

2. Select the “C drive” and then select “Users”.

3. Now select your User Profile and click on “Favorites”.

4. Check if all your websites are present in the “Favorites” folder.

Hi, thanks for the reply. No, in my user folder there is a favorites folder but inside just 1 favorite which I don't use. Are you sure the bookmarks have to be saved here ? Is this folder not only for Edge browser ??

I am using "sync" for my bookmarks (I have windows 10 and xubuntu)

I looked at last questions and found this : Missing bookmarks icons, maybe it's related.

It is possible that there is a problem with favicons.sqlite.

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
