I saw a post from someone thinking the extension does not work. I initially thought so as well, however found that you have to open the extension itself. From within the extension app window, it gives you a list of your bookmarks. That is where you can right-click etc. Hopefully this helps anyone else who starts out by right clicking their actual bookmarks instead of opening the app, then selecting the bookmarks from there.

Zero stars if I could post that way. Because what the article says is just not true, as of October 26 2924. The menu that comes up when you right-click a menu icon does NOT offer ANYTHING referring to Favicons at all. Not Change, not Reset, not Export. Nothing. I remember there used to be something like this, but now you're stuck with the favicon you've got.
