Firefox - fow to disable favicon (English)


If you are the type of person that dislikes those little site specific icons, then this tip is for you. Favicons can be disabled completely in Firefox with a simple config change.

Just type about:config into the address bar, and then filter by browser.chrome. You should see something similar to this:


Ниже есть продолжение.




Set the value of these two preferences to false by double-clicking on them.

browser.chrome.favicons

browser.chrome.site_icons

You’ll have to restart Firefox, but the favicons will be gone entirely.

It is possible to disable only browser.chrome.favicons.

UPDATE
Troubleshooting in order to remove existing icon:
- clean cache (Browsing&Download histroy).
- Change browser.chrome.favicons and browser.chrome.site_icons to false.
- Change browser.chrome.toolbar_style to 0 (don't download or cache favicon).
- Restart Firefox.
- Reset all changes that you did in troubleshooting section.
- Reselect browser.chrome.favicons and, may be, browser.chrome.site_icons.
