Selectively delete Safari favicons from the icon cache
Authored by: d1taylor on Dec 23, '04 10:32:24AM
Not sure this is the solution, but what permission does your ~/Library/Safari/icons directory have? Use this command:
$ ls -ld ~/Library/Safari/icons
drwx------  18 taylor  staff  612 11 Apr  2004 /Users/taylor/Library/Safari/icons/
This being set wrong could cause Safari to stumble...

Selectively delete Safari favicons from the icon cache

Thanks, but I get the same permissions result. It is something else I think....just don't know what. I've noticed a lot of little glitches as Panther has grown and so I expect it is within the OS security and not Safari. A minor annoyance--I still prefer and use Safari as my main browser. Just the other night I realized that even with a symlink in /WebServer/Documents you can't really set a personal web page in ~user/Sites anymore, and I am absolutely sure that I did that just last year.
