Display sites' favicons in Chimera bookmarks

So I picked this up from VGZ over on MozillaZine's Chimera forum. If you want to see a website's favicon in its bookmark (including in the bookmark toolbar), add the following to the ~/Library -> Application Support -> Chimera -> Profiles -> Default -> [random string].slt -> prefs.js file:

user_pref("browser.chrome.favicons", true);
It's an aquired taste (makes the bookmark toolbar a little busy), but some might like it!

[Editor's note: favicons are those small 16x16 icons that replace the standard browser site icon; not all sites have them, and of those that do have them, some are not very interesting looking (it's hard to be artistic in a 16x16 square!).]
