1235645 - Smart keyword suggestion not showing icon in Unified Complete

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1178045

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Beardsmore]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20151221130713

Steps to reproduce:

Assume a Quick Search bookmark (AKA smart keyword bookmark) called “Google”, keyword “g”, that searches http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%s&hl=en. This bookmark has (and for the purposes of this bug, must have) a favicon assigned to it.

In the address bar, type the smart keyword followed by a search term, e.g. “g firefox”.


Actual results:

Unified Complete suggests the following:

[blank paper icon] www.google.co.uk: firefox [magnifying glass icon]

The name of the bookmark is ignored, and the favicon for the bookmark is also ignored.


Expected results:

The Unified Complete suggestion that appears should use the favicon assigned to the bookmark when making the suggestion. Ideally it should also use the name of the bookmark too.

My memory is ropey, but I'm pretty sure this worked correctly before 43. This appears to be a regression. I don't have a computer with Firefox 42 to hand to test.

No, this is not a duplicate of bug 1235646; please note that I filed both bugs within minutes of each other! Please re-read the steps to reproduce. This bug relates to an existing favicon not being shown.

I think it has nothing to do with existing an favicon, it's just always uses a default icon.

If this is a regression, it needs fixing. If it's not a regression, then consider this a feature request. I am certain that it used to show the favicon at some stage, but I forget when this stopped working.

Can reproduce the good behavior on Nightly 2015-03-27.
Basically I think that regression range is the same as in bug 1178075. And also, if this is considered valid, then bug 1178075 should be reopened and this bug should be marked as duplicate.

So, only 2 options are possible:
1) Keywords will "guess" favicons, therefore this will be fixed, just like bug 1178075, and resolution
  "WONTFIX" was invalid in that bug, and just used to keep more regressions in Firefox for a while.
2) Kwywords will NOT guess favicons, therefore this bug, bug 1178075, bug 1235646 are all "WONTFIX",
   because it was decided to keep as many regressions in Firefox as possible, forever.

right, this is a dupe of bug 1178045, and we should figure out https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178045#c8
