No problem. May I ask why you’d want to pick your own? How long ago did you ask, my questions there took a few days to a week to answer.

Thanks for coming back to me. In the meantime I found what I was looking for here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3176/
It was Favicon Picker 2
It adds a little search engine for icons in the properties section of the sites that I wanted to change the icon on.
I ask this question in the “official” firefox site but did not get an answer.
Thanks again
Landon

Landon,
I am assuming that you mean you want to be able to use the little R for my site to represent your GMail bookmark? The little file that is associated with the R is downloaded and stored with that particular site. So off the top of my head I do not know how that connection is made (and stored) for you locally. I would do a search for: favicon customization, or favicon bookmark/favorites customization.
The thing you are wanting to change is called the favicon. So having that in your search keywords are crucial. Wish I could help more, if I totally missed your question let me know.

I have been trying to change the icons on several bookmark sites. At one time I downloaded a file that put an item in the properties of the site but I had to reload my os and now I cannot find the file on the internet. So you know of a file or program that will do this?
Thanks
