Fubared Firefox Favicons (part II)
Well firefox has eaten my favicons again. So in an update to my 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.
