Could be that you have to visit them first if you haven't already since installing.

I immediately answered, then retracted because I realized that, while I'm familiar with the behavior - and yes, it finds an icon on next visit - I can't explain why some made it across the upgrade.

Here's my theory. There's a database, and there are cached image files. Deleting cache doesn't clear the icons for a current installation but maybe the image files are used on upgrade or migration.

It's interesting but not enough to overcome my laziness.

Yeah I had the same guess about a cache. Inevitably they'll show up at some point.

Ok, here's a solution.
If the address is "http........" the icon won't load. If the address is "https...." the icon will load. I thought it might have something to do with having HTTPS Everywhere installed but disabling that had no effect. I had to alter the address myself.

This could be tedious.

Update.
This doesn't work for all sites and some sites that already have https don't load the icon.

Ha! I looked a bit deeper because I have a bunch of bookmarks that I haven't visited in a very long time. Found one that was unencrypted. (http) and observed the same as you.

Find another unencrypted link. I bet it redirects to an encrypted one.

Now notice that your bookmark indicator (the little star at the right of the URL bar) is blank/white. The redirected URL doesn't match so it's considered a new website.

I manually edited the target of that same old bookmark and used it again. This time, the bookmark icon (star) turned blue and the bookmark icon loaded.

Just spent hours learning how to sync data to track video from yesterday and clicked the wrong button and lost it all. Grrrrrrrrr
