Easy for you to say.  I've NEVER had them in my tabs, and the only ones 
that show up in my bookmarks are pricewatch and gas buddy.  I changed 
b.c.f to true, but it made no difference.  Moreover, something changes 
it to 'false' when I restart.

FF 7.0.1/linux with the 'Aeon Clouds' theme and a mess of extensions.The 
only extensions with 'tab' in their names are Tab Mix Plus and Tree 
Style Tabs, neither of which seems to have a favicon option. The 
thingies where the favicons should be are round and red with a sort of 
slash through them, but not a full 'forbidden' symbol.

I'll do the disable-half-and-restart thing when I have a more important 
problem, I just never thought about the favicons until this thread.

One of these days I'm going to upgrade to 10.0.1, but not today :-(
