Icons not showing in Bookmark Bar

I have recently migrated from Chrome to Firefox and imported passwords and bookmarks over. Everything seems to be fine except for icons in Bookmark Bar. For some reason are some of them showing up, but most of them are not. I have tried several things like:

  • delete all and import again
  • delete cache, history, etc.
  • delete favicons.sqlite from profile folder

But none of this helps.

Does anyone have any idea what else can I do?

Thank you.

On most of bookmarks they did appear, however some of them are without even after reloading the website. Please see picture attached.

Fixed: Had to remove bookmarks and re-add them back.

Do the bookmark icons appear when you click on the bookmark?

When migrating from Chrome to Firefox and vice versa, the bookmark icons are not transferred over. Instead, the icon is replaced with the browser's default (in Firefox that's a wireframe sphere) until you visit the website and the icon is downloaded.

A quick way to reload the icons is to use an add-on like Checkmarks, which will load each bookmark automatically so that Firefox can download the icon.

Hope this helps.
