Disable favicon support in Firefox

April 3rd, 2007 - Firefox, How to, Mac OS X, Tips & Tricks

Tim Russell writes in with this tip: “If there’s one thing I hate about your website and most other sites out there it’s the accompanying favicon’s that litter my browser tabs and bookmarks menu. Surely I’m not the only one that dislikes this so called feature, so if you want to turn off favicons this is all you have to do…” We generally like favicon’s but to each his own, continue on for the simple instructions on how to disable them.

Disable favicon support in Firefox

  • In the address bar, type about:config
  • Type “icon” in the search filter on the top
  • Change browser.chrome.favicons to false by double clicking on it
  • Change browser.chrome.site_icons to false by double clicking on it
  • Restart Firefox

Thanks for the tip Tim!

favicons are obnoxious, about time we can get rid of them

I like them. It makes it easier to glance at the tabs and see the one you want to click. But like the post says, options are good too.

Sir. Thank you. I’ve been using an older version because I couldn’t turn off those damn favicons. Dude, I salute you.
