Refresh function for favicons

As you know, recently Microsoft and Google have changed their company logos, so I tried to refresh favicons for them.
But the stored favicons are not changed, and so I must clear all favicons!
So please add the features to refresh favicons for every visits (favicons is renewed at evry visit) for such pages.

P.S. I found that when I visit your home page (http://www.avantbrowser.com/), and the newest release avant version is shown in the left bottom (download 2010 Build 122, 9.15.2010 in Japan). Version information is comletely wrong! (the downloaded file is the newest one)
This is seen in other languages also!

The favicon handling in Avant 2012 does definitely need work, and Anderson is aware of it. Here's a workaround you can use when you want to refresh the favicon for a particular site in the Bookmarks without using Clear Website Icons :

1. With the Sidebar visible and the Bookmarks shown in the Sidebar, temporarily drag the bookmark you want to refresh from wherever it is in the Sidebar, and drop it on whichever folder you have set as the Root of Bookmarks Bar (Links if you've never changed it). The new icon should now be shown for the bookmark.

2. Drag the bookmark back to where it was or wherever you want it.
