      I think I managed to stop the Favicons. After using this procedure, I do not see favicons in my bookmarks any more.

      Delete ~Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/Favicons & with Terminal:
      cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.operasoftware.Opera ln -s /dev/null Favicons

      That makes the Favicons file look like an alias, and I got no more favicons.

          How do you get this forum to put proper linebreaks into code?

            That worked only once.

            How do I get rid of posts here? I cannot seem to delete anything.

              I guess the only way to stop the Favicons is to lock the file in the profile. I shall try that and see what happens.

                        Editing the whole thing just saves the original and adds a new post. There ought to be some way to delete one's own posts.

                          Just can be edit within the 30' since are done.

                          The only way to "delete" them it's to report them and explain the reason "duplication" in the message to the moderators.

                            Just for the record, locking the Favicons file in the profile does indeed stop them from appearing in the bookmarks.
