Works great, albeit a little slow if you have tons of bookmarks. I did have trouble at first discovering how to run it (sidebar!!), but once I figured that out, it worked flawlessly. Thanks!!!

Favicons Reset it works. thx.

Must Have for me.

nice

Working great in my windows 8.1 and FF 61.0.1 64bit. Hope you could add some kind of domain level settings in order to avoid looking multiple times for favicons on same domain bookmarks. Great addon, thank you!

Thnx for making this. I was looking for this kind of extension now found one. And can you please option to hide the sidebar while refreshing icons and load sites in background if possible. That would be awesome.

omg ! Favicon restorer extensions missed me so much and now you have done it in webext ! you saved my day ! one suggestion : create a dark teme for sidebar please ! if you don't do it that's not really important ! i love it as this ! hanks for this good work and great idea

The best addon for favicon's i have seen in 2 years! Checkmarks found a large amount of favicons on a fresh reload of bookmarks upgrading my pc. The resource used is really nothing with an updated pc and shouldn't be any problem for what it does. Thank you!

Amazing addon! Thank you!

Great workaround to reload favicons - and by the way a check of run out bookmarks. PLEASE IMPROVE: It is not possible to pause the process, once started. And if the computer goes into sleep mode, it starts on the beginning again. If you have 5000 bookmarks, this is rally annoying. The same with the results. You have to correct (p. x. 800) falied links in a row without getting a cuppa of coffee, cause when the computer shuts down, you loose all results. PLEASE create some kind of memory for results and work in progress. THANKS

Pros:
- It does what it says.

Cons:
- It does it very inefficiently.
- The extension would be much better if it didn't actually open new tabs, but reloaded favicons in the background. This uses a lot of resources, and bandwidth, and I can't even browse at the same time. If I run it while watching Twitch or Youtube, it will interrupt the video. That's a deal breaker for me.

This kind of extension should be able to run in the background without draining the browser. I would NEVER let this extension reload my entire bookmark collection because it would take long time, and it would also cripple the browser.

I wanted to use it for individual folders, but even that's a hassle because it requires manually typing in the folder path, and it doesn't even explain the syntax, and is shows no examples. I had to try several times until success because the syntax is not obvious to me. (I've seen all kinds of different syntaxes for the Firefox bookmark paths so its not obvious.) So, instead of doing all that, it's actually faster to just right click on the folder and do "Open All in Tabs" instead of using this extension.

Sorry, but this extension is not really a favicon loader. It's basically a bookmark opener. I can already open my bookmarks much faster by selecting "Open All" on each folder, so at this point this extension doesn't offer a better way of doing it.

I will gladly try it again, if it becomes more efficient and easier to use.


UPDATE
- In response to the author
True, it can reload all bookmarks in the browser, which cannot be done otherwise in a single turn. That can be useful, if one is willing to leave the browser run unattended for a long time. I don't know if I would ever do that with over 10k bookmarks, but I guess it's nice to have.
I will bump the rating because I judged it a little unfairly at first. I tried this extension with the expectation that it's a favicon loader specifically, which it is not, and in all fairness it never claimed to be. I had the wrong expectation, so that's my fault. This extension does exactly what it says - it automates loading of bookmarks.

"I could write a custom script without the api that only fetches favicons but this could easily mess up things in future firefox releases and would be time-consuming to maintain. "

Well, this actually sounds like what I really was looking for. It is too bad that you don't have the time to do it. Hopefully someone will.

Perfect

I like this extension, thanks a lot! I first deleted the file favicons.sqlite and then ran it. Once it was completed I did a first clean-up, which was needed, since there are bookmarks there, which I didn't use probably for 10 years.
I noticed however that not all Favicons are loaded, while the same ones do show in Google Chrome, how come??

However it might be handy to write a little instruction how to run this add-on, since it took me a while to figure it out and thanks to reading the reviews I was sent in the right direction where to look.

Update:
I found the sidebar back in my customize menu, where I must have put it a few months ago when I first used it. I just didn't recognize it as this app, since it was called "sidebar" :)

Loads a set (customizable) amount of tabs in order to load their Favicon and check if the site is still connectable. Does absolutely everything I needed from this sort of addon, highly recommended.

Ótimo, estava procurando igual louco uma extensão que fizesse isto.

Excellent favikon (bookmarks icon) refreshing, for example after fresh Firefox installation.

Excellent favicon reloader (oh yeah, and bookmark checker!) for ff 57+. However I can install it but not run it on 52ESR. Is it compatible with 52? Thx
