I love favicons. It helps me associate sites easily with their icons. I don’t have to read through names and descriptions and that saves me a lot of time. But for those who’d rather have a neater bookmarks folder, this little tweak may be of service. You can disable favicons from displaying by doing the following.
- Access the about:config page.
- Find the
browser.chrome.site_iconspreference name - Double-click on it to change the boolean value to false
- Find the
browser.chrome.faviconpreference name - Double-click on it to change the boolean value to false
- Close the about:config page/tab
- The changes take effect instantly

problem with this advise is that it only prevents new favicons from being added to the bookmarks, existing favicons will still remain in your bookmarks…..

Remove places.sqlite from your firefox settings. Next time you start it, the file is regenerated without the favicons.
