Why are items in History showing Facebook icon, not their own?
For the last week or so items in History are showing the Facebook icon, not their own, appropriate ones. This strikes me as creepy, wondering if Facebook is trying to meddle with browsing here. I've installed the Facebook Container add-on, but this has not had any effect. I have tried to upload a screenshot of this, but it just hangs.

This could be a problem with the favicons.sqlite that stores favicon data.
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
In case 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

I had a hard time stumbling upon the place where I could find these folders and files, but I did more or less by dumb luck (a 'show in Finder' [Mac OS] command did the trick) but it fixed the problem! So many thanks for this. And it was a relief to see that it was a minor corruption in my copy of Firefox, and not some intrusive behavior by FB.
