After changing favicon, there is no need for that favicon file to exist again.

Product's homepage
Requirements:
· SeaMonkey
Limitations:
· This extension is designed for bookmark favicon only. Tab icon is not protected. You may see that tab icon is changed back, this is normal.
· Animated favicon is not supported. Animated favicon will be changed to normal non-animated favicon and saved.
· Only changing bookmark folder and livemark container favicon require bookmark sidebar and bookmark manager to reload. Reloading will be done automatically by my extension.
· Bookmarks that have the same URL will have the same favicon. But folders that have the same label can have different favicon.
· "Embed favicon data in JSON Bookmark backup file" can make backing up bookmark slower. And it will make Firefox and SeaMonkey quit slower too because Firefox and SeaMonkey normally automatic backup your bookmark when quit. The other thing is you can restore these favicons back only when this extension is installed and active.
· Due to custom favicons for bookmarks and folders are not standard, they are applied methods. So, the other add-ons that do bookmark synchronizing such as firefox Sync, SeaMonkey Sync Xmarks or FEBE may not understand this. They may not kind to your custom favicons and nothing I can do about this. The solution is to backup your favicon by enable "Embed favicon data in JSON Bookmark backup file" option or "export all custom favicons". This will help you by restor favicons back when something not right occur.
· Firefox Only - On rare occasion, you may experience firefox freeze or slow down. This usually occur by damaged "Places database" which caused by improper firefox shutdown or bug in firefox upgrading process. Due to this add-on use an extensive bookmark access (which is store in "Places database"), this error symptom will appear more easiler and more frequently. Please see this link and this link for more informations to solve the problem.
