  1. Updating Edge Bookmarks and Favicons


    I recently had to replace my hard drive and I am trying to load the Favicons file from my old user directory and get Error "0x800704C8 This operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open". I was able to move the bookmark file so all my bookmarks show up in Edge but not their icons.

    :)

    Favicons don't show up in IE or Edge

    All but one of my Favicons are working.

    Found the favicon listed in the files but will not show on the favorites list??

    Recently imported the favorites list to this computer and ended up with this odd ball favicon. How can one not work and how would I reset it?

    I use IE11, have no use for the non-robust EDGE.

    Updating Edge Bookmarks and Favicons

    Firefox keeps forgetting the favicons in my bookmarks

    Well I just deleted my favicons file and revisited all my bookmarks again.

    But I have a new question about favicons now. Most sites generated the favicons fine in my bookmarks in Firefox. However, a few won't update so I just have the generic icon. If I open the same exact page up in Chrome, it generates a favicon. Some favicons just don't seem to appear in Firefox. Any idea why?

    Also, I exported my Firefox bookmarks in html format. I then imported them into Chrome using that html file. I read the html file will contain all the favicons. However, when I imported that file into Chrome, a good half or more of the favicons were not in the imported bookmarks and I had to revisit the sites in Chrome to generate them.

    Is that Firefox's fault for not properly exporting the favicons in the html bookmark file, or Chrome's fault for not importing them correctly?
