Clear all favicons from Firefox 3
Authored by: cbonsig on Dec 13, '08 03:19:21PM
If you try to enter the commands exactly as posted, you'll be confronted with a baffling "...>" after entering the first (or any subsequent) command. Open Terminal, navigate to
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/RandomStuff.default

Then issue the command
sqlite3 places.sqlite

Then type the following three commands at the sqlite> prompt
delete from moz_favicons;
update moz_places set favicon_id = NULL;
.quit

The trailing semicolons are essential.
