I just did a Firefox synch and bookmark icons were lost.
When I go back to some of the websites the icons come back however when I go to some of the websites this doesn't happen. How can I get them all back?
The add-on 'checking places' no longer exists.

Try to let all favicons expire to see if that makes Firefox to store them once again.
Copy and paste the JavaScript code in the Code input field in the Browser/Error Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J) and click the Evaluate button.
var fS = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/favicon-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIFaviconService);
fS.expireAllFavicons();
After I did the above, the icons that I had recovered disappeared again. When I go to the website for about 2/3 of the bookmarks the icons come back but for about 1/3 they don't cme back - just as before.
Yes, the above posted code will remove all stored favicons and you need to revisit the web pages by clicking the links to make Firefox fetch them once again.
Not all websites have favicons.
Do you see them on the tab bar in case of the ones that aren't working?
Some of them were in the tab bar. I guess that I will have to delte these bookmarks and then reinstall the bookmark,
The add-on FavIconReloader actually automatesthis process and had automatically brought back the 2/3 of icons that would come back when I visited the site. Still cannot get the other 1/3.
