Easiest way to update website favicons. Thanks a lot.

Beautiful, I knew the manual workaround, having to click the bookmark, but I wasn't expecting a literal loop of *each* bookmark, but it was done efficiently and actually without interrupting workflow. I'm writing this review as it's at 62%, and slowly seeing my bookmarks folder populate. Great solution for a niche but annoying problem.

it's very strange that the 'the earth best browser' needs a user which writes an extension to handle Favicons as they should.

Does mozilla program so bad also in much more sensitive areas??

worked with no issues, good app and good replacement for favicon reloader, FF-72.02

I never write reviews.... this addon is PERFECT in everyway based on its description. Great job Paul!

A great extension to compensate for a Firefox problem of not syncing or importing favicons. Took a couple of hours to go through about 7k sites. Very well thought out. There is a problem with the folder icon. The folder info from hovering over it is truncated to the size of the sidebar which means you can't tell what the folder is for long folder names. Even stretching the sidebar to its maximum width did not help.

One request I have is to create a log file of the problems, etc. that can be worked later. I had about 1600 problems that I did not have time to go through and fix. Once you leave Checkmarks that session is gone for good.

Great for when you reinstall firefox cleanly and Want to refresh the icons!

Works great. It opens all favorites and updates the favicons.

Just the extension I was looking for. I have thousands of bookmarks, some dating back almost 20 years. I was never too keen on so-called "tags" to identify my bookmarks, and there was no such concept some years ago. Therefore, I heavily rely on the presence of a favicon to know where a bookmark is coming from and to classify them (a neverending task), as well as to identify broken websites.

In the past, I had to restore Firefox profile from backups because of various crashes, breaking favicons in the process. While keeping bookmarks was my main concern, it did detract from my experience with Firefox, not knowing the original website. Some websites also don't use clear webpage titles, further obfuscating their origin.

This application is very simple: I open it in the side panel, then click "Play": it will proceed on re-loading each bookmark five by five, closing them after timeout, catching favicons in the process and detecting broken bookmarks. Sure, it will use lots of CPU for a while, but probably won't saturate the RAM or crash Firefox. You can change the rather conservative default settings if you have a really powerful computer so as to speed up the process. One caveat: DO NOT close the side panel or switch to another view there: this will stop Checkmarks and you'll have to start all over again. My advice: let it run overnight.
