I received the latest software update for Mac OS Big Sur Version 11.7.3. Now the icons on my homepage for favorites are gray and some are even blank or missing. How might I fix this? Screenshot shows my dilemma.

There are several threads reporting this problem:
I am having the same problem; tried all day to fix it. I use these icons on a daily basis. Very, very frustrating. So much for an "update" when it just causes problems instead of improvements.
Yes, very frustrating for the last 2 weeks.
Same issue here. Everything was fine before 16.3 update on Big Sur 11.7.3 now the start page is showing grey icons instead of the .png files.
So far I’ve tried:
Resetting caches (including via the developer menu)
Deleting the .db caches manually
safe mode restart
Still, nothing. Tech support informed me that they are aware of problems with Safari running on various versions of MacOS regarding the favicons/start page icons. Advised to wait for an update. It seems this problem has been occurring for some time so I’m not holding my breath for a fix anytime soon. Frustrating as I use this feature all the time and without the websites logos to quickly see which one I want it makes the feature redundant.
This is a pretty major functionality issue which should be addressed asap. Fingers crossed.
Thank you, maybe we will get an update soon fixing this issue.
Could you please let us know when/if you get the Big Sur "update" regarding grayed out/missing favorites fixed. Really would appreciate it.
