Fubared Firefox Favicons (part II)
Well firefox has eaten my favicons again. So in an update to my [http://www.smop.co.uk/blog/index.php/2008/08/25/how-to-workaround-broken-firefox-favicons/ old post]:
* shutdown firefox
* run sqlitebrowser on the places.sqlite file (~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/places.sqlite for me)
* click “Execute SQL”
* execute: “delete from moz_favicons;”
* execute: “update moz_places set favicon_id=NULL;
Let’s see how that goes

execute: “delete from moz_favicon;”
should I think be:
execute: “delete from moz_favicons;”
Thanks for the post though!

Unfortunately corrupted icons _still_ appear from fairly frequently. This is driving me nuts. Still, a temporary workaround is better than nothing.
