    The issue is that the folder icon has changed (on some PCs) from being yellow (which is how it has been since the launch of the new Edge):

    to being transparent, and therefore much harder to see the icons:

    Different PCs, same Windows 11 build and same build of Edge (131.0.2903.70 official build).

    Is this being A/B testing or is this a problem on one PC?

    I think the responder has misunderstood the question. The problems is not with the icons for each site in favourites. I have the same problem. The problem is with the folders on the favourites bar; in my case at the top of the screen. For some reason they have suddenly lost the yellow colouring, which most other windows 11 folders have, and are now just white.

    Ha. I did the exact same thing several months ago and all of a sudden mine are transparent today as well. It might seem like a silly thing, but I can't stand the look of those transparent folders. They look basic and unprofessional!!

    I also have the same bug (or change?) in my favorites folders. I'd be glad to know how to get my yellow folders back instead of dealing with the clear ones

    Just happened to me today also.

    Dear Microsoft....

    The ONLY reason I still use Edge over the comparatively brilliant Firefox browser is due to the Favorites bar icon folders in MSEdge showing in a usefully distinct yellow. Now you have put them into some kind of 'accessibility high contrast mode', I may as well move over for good...
