Hi, I have a strange problem in my firefox browser whereby the site icons in my favourite bar will change to a different site icon on their own. for example the e-bay icon in my fav bar will change to amazons icon giving me two amazon icons instead of one.I used to have favicon installed and I think that has been the cause of it.Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi there,

That must be quite frustrating for you. Have you tried clearing Firefox's cache? Firefox caches its Favicons, so there could be some strangeness going on there that could be causing problems. For a step-by-step guide for clearing the cache check this out:

Let me know if that works for you.
