Firefox won't display favicons?

Question

For some reason favicons aren't showing up on Firefox 2.0.0.1 on my computer. None of my bookmarks are displaying favicons, even sites that I KNOW have them. Do I have to enable them? Thanks

I'm using the default theme too.

No favicon in the address bar either....

That link didn't help fix it either... The problem is the icons wont even show up in the address bar...I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, but it still doesn't work... I don't get it.... Thanks for the help though.

Answer 1

Use internet explorer instead. I can't stand firefox.

Answer 2

[Edit]
No? Hmm... Will this help?

Here's something I want you to try:

Go into your bookmarks and find one that's of a major site buy doesn't show a favicon. Open it up, and then look to see if there's a favicon in the address bar.
Then look in your bookmarks for the one you just opened.

Does it have a favicon now?

If it does this means that you've set Firefox to clearout the cache (temorary file memory) every time you close it.

Set Firefox to have a small cache (1MB or less) - it'll remember the favicons more.

Answer 3

Many themes don't display Favicons - deliberately for reasons of style. Are you using a new theme? If you are just using the default theme then I'm afraid I don't know.

If you have installed a new theme and want to keep it, often on the theme's homepage they will tell you how to fix it.
