The mini icons in my Bookmarks list are all incorrect. They are either blank or belong to a different link. I'm on FF28, however this has been happening for quite some time now. How do correct this?

You can paste this code in the command line in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to let all favicons expire. 

var fS = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/favicon-service;1"]
         .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIFaviconService);
fS.expireAllFavicons();
developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsIFaviconService

You need to use a bookmark to make Firefox retrieve the favicon.

Thanks cor-el. That deleted all the favicons. I installed the Favicon Reloader Add-on and the favicons are now correct.
