primexx Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm wondering how I could stop Firefox from saving favicons into the bookmarks.html file. I remember seeing the solution somewhere before, but I just cant find it anymore. So, help? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Found this link for you. How can I disallow favicons in bookmarks Lots of good info in that thread. Some quotes. Favicons can take up to 80% of the file size of your bookmarks.html file.Use the Favicon Picker extension to remove existing favicons from your bookmarks.html file: Favicon Picker 0.3.0 extension http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=321562 or Favicon Picker 2 0.3.3 https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3176/ To stop new ones from being added: type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter Pref Name = browser.chrome.favicons - set to false I've disabled all Firefox favicon capability by adding the following to to my User.js file.Code: // Disable Bookmark Icons user_pref("browser.chrome.site_icons", false); user_pref("browser.chrome.favicons", false); I believe you can also add these via about:config. Note that these lines disable favicons entirely. Favicons won't be added to your bookmarks file anymore, but they won't appear anywhere else, either. I'm fine with that, but others might not be.
