I was using google chrome before and after i imported my bookmarks and history, lots of my favicons for the websites i bookmarked was gone, those icon were being shown in chrome, but not in firefox.

It came up a blank square as the favicon for the websites i bookmarked, i did search for solutions, but none of them work, what can i do right now without starting up a new profile?

Does the favicon come back if you click such a bookmark to open the page in a tab?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Had same problem, but only with some sites. Was using "custom settings for history' under Firefox - Options - Privacy settings. You need to enable "Remember my browsing and download history" (as you see in the attached image, I had it turned off). Once you enable that setting, you need to load each bookmark page that doesn't show a favicon and wait until the icon shows in the tab in order for the favicon to store with the bookmark. I think once they are all loaded, you can turn off the setting, but haven't tested that fully.
