I have an interesting glitch with my TORn bookmark on my phone

I am running a Chrome browser on my desktop computer and my Android/Nexus 4 phone that is linked between the two. I have what's called 'desktop' bookmarks ... those are the ones that appear on a tool bar of Chrome on my desktop. On my phone, these bookmarks are in a folder marked 'desktop. On my computer, the favicon for my TORn message board link pn the Chrome toolbar is the 'the One Ring' favicon that TORn uses. On my phone, the favicon for that same bookmark is the favicon for the TMZ website. I don't have TMZ bookmarked anywhere although I likely have visited it over time to read a story or two. I tried removing the bookmark and then adding it again. And I tried adding a bookmark on my phone's home screen. That didn't work. Both times it was still the TMZ favicon. I did go look at some other bookmarks I have in another folder while on my phone and those all have the regular TORn favicon (although those may all be to pages on TORn other than the message boards. It's not a huge problem but it kind of bugs me to see that bright red favicon rather than the One Ring attached to TORn. I was curious if anyone had any strategies for fixing this? I'm assuming it's an issue with my phone since the favicon is fine on my computer.

Though I'll ask it anyway, have you searched google for a solution? Google seems to have a whole boatshed of different solutions - from technical rooting around in files and folders, to downloading extensions. This seems like the best solution, whether or not it works is a different matter: 1. Close Chrome 2. Open your User Data folder (C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) 3. Delete the Favicons file 4. Run Chrome 5. Visit sites to force the icons to be re-downloaded Since the problems seems to be so prevalent, I'd guess it is an inherent problem with the browser and not your phone. I've always had the same problem on Google Chrome, both on my personal laptop and on my work desktop. At the moment, my favicon for TORn is a blank page. It has been many things in the past also!

If I'm to find the user data folder on my computer (C:\ etc) then that would only affect my computer's browser which is displaying the correct favicon. It's my phone that is displaying the wrong favicon. I've gone into my user settings on my phone and can't find anything that seems to work. I cleared the cache for Chrome and that didn't do it (not that I expected it to). I've also searched for "User Date" in connection with Android and Chrome and can't find info on any folder named that. And I've searched for : chrome android favicons stored (and cache) and can't find any useful info with those parameters either. I think I have to live with it.

If you connect your phone to your computer

you should be able to browse to it like you would the files on your computer, and then follow the suggested steps. You may have to search for the favicons file on the drive partition, though. The phone manufacturers tend to obfuscate a lot of the paths so things like that are harder to find. Inferno.
