Great tips, but I seldom notice the icons on my bookmarking menu as I seldom use my bookmarking features. Going to try this anyway. Thanks for the tips.

Hm. Maybe you have your profile saved elsewhere? Are you still using Fx 2 or did you upgrade?

I found bookmarks.html, but it only had Firefox.com links, no fav’s that I recognised…

Yeah, I have Vista now. But I also work on an XP machine at work and at school.

In XP, when you go into the profile folder, look for bookmarks.html. Do not open in Firefox or IE; instead, right click and open in a text editor like WordPad or Notepad.

Then, you can scroll through and see the links individually, with the icon information saved. It is REALLY LONG.

When I get back home, I can take some screenshots.

Another great tip, I have a host of icons wrongly attributed - on my home PC my email has the paypal icon(?) and on my work PC, Paypal has the yahoo Icon…
I’m gonna try it right now…
