Blank Safari .webloc file icons after Catalina

Immediately after Catalina upgrade, all my .webloc icons are blank and generic. They still open in Safari fine, they just look like generic white documents.

I tried clearing all caches with Onyx (did nothing) and then I turned off SIP and manually cleared the Icon Services stuff via Terminal (also did nothing.) Anyone have any other suggestions?

Some Safari .webloc files restored as empty files with blank icons after full Time Machine disk restore in MacOS Catalina Hello, I had to do a full Time Machine restore of my disk due to a laptop repair process and noticed that some, but not all, of my saved Safari .webloc files now show as blank icons with the name changed to "Icon?". If I list one of these files in Terminal it shows as having size zero, but the Get Info action in Finder shows a size of 885 KB for the specific file I am testing. This has not affected all of my .webloc files. In some directories I can have a perfectly functional .webloc file and a "corrupted" blank icon with the "Icon?" name. Is there a way of recovering/fixing these corrupted and apparently not empty .webloc files? Cheers, Fernando

Safari 13.1.2 first few Favourites icons don't show I've been facing this issue from a few days into Catalina update (about 3-4 months now). Whenever I open a new tab or safari, the bookmarks (favourites) icons don't show up. I've tried reseting cache from develop menu but it did not fix it. I've had to format my os once recently, that did not solve it as well! as soon as my bookmarks were fetched from my account, the problem came back! Pressing the "Show Less" followed by "Show More" (aka collapsing and reopening) does fix the problem but opening a new tab the issue reappears. Thing is, only the first few rows are not shown for some reason which is very annoying as most of the quick bookmarks are supposed to be there. any help with this is much appreciated.
