For some reason whenever I add a site to a favorite, I get to see their unique icon the first time I add it in. But whenever I like maybe restart or something, the icon disappears and reverts to the stupid IE icon..any way to keep the website's icons?

Yeah, yea..I know some of ya will say to use firefox

It won't do anything :p The sites' icons only appear after you've been to the site. If you restart, the icons should appear after you visit the site again. Same in FF.

Nope. The icons stand in Firefox.

I forget how IE setups the bookmarks. Couldn't you save the favicon to disc?

So they do! I usually use Safari, so I guess I didn't have the icons stored yet for FF. I even restarted to check. So yeah, get FF if it bothers you that much :p
