If web-pages have icons associated with them which replace the default
"page"-icon in the adress bar (like eBay), visiting them while they are on the
"bookmark" page changes their icon there, too.
However, sometimes the icons on the bookmark bar are all reset to the default
page icon, but I don´t know when.

favicons are stored in cache, so if the cache is cleared/the icons are pushed 
out of cache by other icons/firefox is shutdown improperly (i.e. it crashes) 
and the cache is iffy and gets dropped, the icons are lost.

This is an old bug, I'll find the correct original later.
