PC Help:Firefox bookmark icons

What to do when the wrong icon appears

Q  I use the Bookmark toolbar in Firefox for the websites I regularly visit. Each bookmark has the favicon for that website to the right. Unfortunately, some of the favicons are with the wrong link. Is it possible to reset them?

A  This is a known bug with Firefox and, sadly, there is no actual fix. The simplest way to reset the icon is to delete the bookmark and then create it again. Start Firefox and then left-click on the bookmark once to load the page. Once the page has loaded, right click on the bookmark and then left click on Delete. Move the cursor over the favicon in the address bar, this is the small icon to the left of the address. Press the left mouse button down, move the cursor down to the bookmark toolbar and then release the button to create a new icon.
