No more favicon in Safari

I run Safari 5.1 on Lion and all the favicon on my bookmarks and on the adress bar disappeared. Now i have only the blue globe. Does someone have any idea why and how to make them come again? I tried to empty the cache, remove the cookies... No change.

Safari-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7)

Quit Safari.


Go to ~/Library/Safari.


Move the WebpageIcons.db file from the Safari folder to the Trash.


Relaunch Safari.


~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.


For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

I use Mavericks Mac OS X 10.9.2 and Safari 7.0.2 on my iMac for some days.

I had problems with bookmarks and favicons.

I delete yesterday my webpageicons.db.

(This was a suggestion in an other thread).

After that I open some webpages with bookmarks and the favicons are new stored.

I work a day with my iMac with some application and change to an other account and go back to my account.


Now all bookmarks are gone.

I don't know this is using of other account?

I use other account yesterday after deleting webpageicons.db and go back and favicons are present.


Very good programming from Apple ;-(
