Are you using any cleanup software then can remove the favicons from places.sqlite?

You can try:

• CheckPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces/

See also:

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox

-> Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Check and tell if its working.

This is a misunderstanding I am not talking about bookmarks at all When I say Favicons I talk about Web site icon, URL icon Favicons en Firefox 8 does not appear on Address Bar nor Tabs I try with Aurora version 9.02.a and Firefox 3.6 and miraculously Favicons appear again, there is not a problem, the problem is only with Firefox 8

CCleaner only cleans cache and history it does not block anything if you use CClaener Firefox must by close and vice versa. When you use new session in Firefox , Favicons must by load from any webpage that have Favicons in that instant that not have nothing to do with memory nor cache. I hope Firefox 9 like Aurora 9.02.a that problem has been resolved.

doesn´t work

Did you check for a misbehaving extension or theme?

Are you using any code in userChrome.css that can cause this?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

• https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

• Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
• https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

1. I don´t use any code in userChrome
2. I don´t use private browsing
3. In Firefox Safe Mode favicons works fine
4. I use DEFAULT theme

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

• Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
• Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

• Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

I try one by one and found the troublemaker add-on Favicon Picker 2 0.6.2.15 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/favicon-picker-2/?src=api

It is supposed that Firefox to warn when an add-on is not compatible, in this case it appear this add-on sneak through mozilla control filters, but 3 more people has this problem too, there could be more add-ons causing this.

thanks for your advice.

You're welcome.

I remember having seen that extension mentioned before with causing favicons to disappear.

Did some searches:

Terran21, check these prefs on the about:config page.

• browser.chrome.favicons
