ETA: I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and Firefox. I reset Firefox just recently and now more of the favIcons are missing, there is just a empty box to the left of the website name.

haha, got it.Ho boy! I left out the most important part! Talk about feeling silly!!! Guess I had a longer day than I thought. Please accept my apologies.
Please allow me to rephrase that:
Open a new tab in Firefox then type about:config in the address bar. Press your Enter key. You'll receive a warning stating something about avoiding your warranty and a button to click declaring, "I'll be careful, I promise". Now type places.sqlite into the Search: bar at the top.
That should display storage.vacuum.last.places.sqlite and to the far right you will see a value. Under the value column on my Firefox browser it displays --> 1373132651.

SpeedyFox optimizes and cleans-up the SQLite databases that hold your bookmarks, preferences, and the like.
Hey Donna,Hi Ztruker
storage.vacuum.last.places.sqlite doesn't exist in your FF 22.0 either, or do you mean the value is different as radiuus's value is?
How long ago had you updated? If recently, as I had, have you rebooted your computer?
Not sure if that makes a difference but, I have been off line for awhile trying to re-secure my modem/router after tech support came over to replace outdated dish for my satellite connection and now that I am up and going again, I just typed places:config into my browser and storage.vacuum.last.places.sqlite is now there along with many other preferences and values that were not there before. The value I found is still the same as it was with FF 21.0 > 1373132651
Even though FF did reboot after the update, I had not rebooted my computer after the update to vs 22.0
@ radiuus,
Try SpeedyFox and let me know if the issue persists. I use this tool and it is 100% safe.
DO NOT download the tool from the article link above. I just linked you to the article so you could read what I found in the first paragraph:SpeedyFox optimizes and cleans-up the SQLite databases that hold your bookmarks, preferences, and the like.
I have provided a link directly to the executable below:
Download SpeedyFox for Windows (570kb) that is found under Download: to your desktop.Shouldn't take very long depending on how big the Firefox profile is.
- Click on the download link then Save File button in the box that pops up..
- Double click on the icon (for Vista and above, right click and choose Run as administrator).
- Next, click on the button and allow it to complete.

-Yes the Favicons were fine in version 21.radiuss, I am totally baffled here. Lots of questions:
Were the Favicons fine in version 21.0 before the update to version 22.0?
What happens when you try accessing the site again by clicking on the favicons? Does that correct the issue?
What encouraged you to reset FF? The missing favicons?
I have found a few other similar situations that others experienced and their solution was to revert back to FF 21.
I'm still looking for an answer.
