favicons are absent in "Bookmarks Toolbar"

[Darryl Grennan]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

In Karmic, the favicon icons aren't showing in the "Bookmarks Toolbar".
Upon fresh install this is demonstrated by the lack of "zilla" icon next to the "Getting Started" button.

The above mentioned missing "zilla" icon can be observed on the Ubuntu homepage under "Take the Tour" where the browser screenshot appears halfway through the page.

The workaround that works for me is as follows:
1. Go to "View"--->"Toolbars"--->"Customize".
2. Check "Use Small Icons".
3. Click "Done".
4. Go to "View"--->"Toolbars"--->"Customize".
5. Uncheck "Use Small Icons".
6. Click "Done".

Sorry! I'm a little to eager, the lack of zilla icon is present, but adding a bookmark to the bookmark menu or toolbar shows the favicon, so I'm still trying to reproduce the bug.

Workaround doesn't work for me, but thanks for the suggestion!

Hey all,

Does this still affect you with the latest updates installed?
