Clear favicon cache?

[dreamsINdigital]

Can someone tell me how to clear the favicon cache in Firefox? I remember it used to clear itself when you cleared cache from the privacy tab in the settings, but it doesn't do that anymore (for me at least). Also, how can I stop it from stealing favicons from other sites of the bookmark doesn't have a favicon? I heard this bug was fixed, but it still seems to do that. I'm running the latest relrease of Firefox.

Thanks!

Favicons are now all stored in the bookmarks.html file. Just a minor FYI.

That's what I thought... because when I export my bookmarks when I'm updating Firefox and import them back, the favicons are still there. Any way to clear the icons?

This extension will do it. It doesn't clear them all in one go as far as I know. :unsure:

Yeah I heard about that. I have too many bookmarks to do it one by one though. :(

You could also import your bookmarks.html file into Internet Explorer, and then export it from IE favorites back to a bookmarks.html file. You'll lose the order of your bookmarks, lose the menu seperators, lose any descriptions for bookmarks, and lose certain characters in the bookmark titles that Windows does not support in filenames, though. I don't know what effect importing into Mozilla (the original suite) and exporting will have...
