We addressed most issues with wrong favicons being assigned a couple years ago in Bug 1533480 and its dependencies. This bug is later, so it looks like there may still be some race condition doing that, but I'm not sure what it may be. It may have been useful to run some queries at the time, now it may be a bit late to get useful debug info. My only thought is that being the wrong pages things that may have redirected to The Verge, I wonder if the problem is indeed related to redirects. I'l lresolve the bug as incomplete because I doubt we can get debug info after 1 year, thus it's not really actionable. But, if the problem still exists please reopen the bug, and I'll post some code snippets to try understanding what's up.
