Clear all favicons from Firefox 3
Authored by: Christoph on Oct 23, '08 02:46:01AM

Does anyone know how favicons can be disabled in Safari?
They tend to make some operations annoyingly slow.

A quick google search showed up a forum post suggesting to chmod Safari's cache folder for favicons so that Safari can no longer access it.

I feel somewhat uneasy with this solution because it is certainly not intended by the Safari programmers and thus might have unrelated side effects.

Clear all favicons from Firefox 3

I was hoping that this hint would work - specifically the rob g comment, since I don't have a sql editor available to me - but it did not. All favicons remains, regardless of how I entered the sql commands.

I want to delete the favicon data because FF3 displays some favicons, but not others. This has been the case since upgrading to FF3 from FF2. I was hoping that clearing the existing favicons and starting fresh, would force FF3 to pull in fresh favicons. A minor annoyance, I guess.
