Favicons for livemarks
Use site icons (aka favicons) in place of the default orange icon.
Many websites use specific icons—aka “favicons”—to distinguish themselves from other sites. When you bookmark a site with a favicon, the icon appears beside the site’s name in your bookmarks menu or on your bookmarks toolbar. When you create a Live Bookmark, however, Firefox ignores favicons in favor of the standard RSS folder icon 
. As a result, your menus may appear somewhat monotonous and individual bookmarks lack identity.
LiveClick allows you to use favicons with your Live Bookmarks, both in your bookmarks menu and on your bookmarks toolbar. So instead of this:
You have this:
You can even remove the labels to save space on the toolbar:
Favicons for livemarks are enabled by LiveClick by default. If you prefer the default RSS icon , visit LiveClick’s options and uncheck the “Display favicons instead of livemark icon” setting.
Why does a generic RSS icon appear instead of a favicon?
There may be several reasons why the default RSS icon appears instead of a site’s favicon.
1. Not all sites have favicons. If no icon is available, the default RSS folder icon will be used.
2. If you have just created a Live Bookmark or changed the favicon setting in LiveClick’s options, the favicon may not be updated immediately. Try reloading the bookmark to force the favicon to be displayed or restarting Firefox.
3. Favicons occasionally don’t show up because their “Site Locations” are set to a redirected address without a linked favicon. To fix this, make sure the “Site Location” is set to the final, non-redirecting address. You may need to visit the location again and/or restart Firefox to get the favicon to appear properly.
How do I change a livemark’s favicon?
If you wish to manually change the icon of a livemark (or any bookmark), LiveClick is somewhat compatible with the Favicon Picker extension. More details can be found in the article Favicons, Favicon Picker.
How do I disable favicons for livemarks?
If you prefer the default RSS folder icon , visit LiveClick’s options and uncheck the “Display favicons instead of livemark icon” setting. You may need to restart Firefox before changes take effect.
