Fav Icons
I am trying to find answers in relation to my Favourites shorcuts not showing the Icon for some well known websites e.g BBC World News, CNN. Once answer found on the Firefox Forum is: Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
This is just typical of many answers I find on the Firefox forums whereby the suggested solutions seem to bear no resemblance to my Firefox system. Am I using something different? Everything points to me having the latest up to date version of Firefox. For example if I click on the four horizontal line hamburger on top right of the screen I do not see anything that begins with "Tools" in the menu options. I see "Settings" and "More Tools" but none lead to "Options>Content: Fonts & Colors> Advanced: [X]. simarly, If I click on "Tools" in the menu at the top of the Browser nothing leads to "Options". Any suggestions please?

Settings opens on a page named (in the left panel) 'General'. Find Fonts on that page and press the button labelled Advanced.
A common reason that bookmarks may not show the icon is that the site has changed and the bookmarked URL redirects to a different page. This could be as subtle as an HTTP address bookmark that gets redirected to an HTTPS version of the same URL. You can update the URL on those kinds of bookmarks, or bookmark the new address separately.
Another possible reason is that the site instructs Firefox not to cache the image.
A third possibility is that the site has upgraded its icon to a newer format, which works fine on the tab, but removed the older format used for bookmarks and history.
It can be difficult to sort out which of these is the problem, and for all I know, there could be other special cases.
Bookmarks favicons have nothing to do with the font setting you mention. Do you see the favicon on the tab if you visit the website ? Note that you may have to visit a bookmark to make the favicon appear. If that doesn't work, then make sure that the URL of the bookmark and this page/tab match in case of a redirect or a scheme mismatch (http i.o. https).
