If a bookmarked site is visited when it is temporarily down and a firefox error page (e.g. "Server not found") is displayed; the icon on the favourite menu is replaced with the icon of the site you where on before clicking the bookmarked link.  After this, the incorrect icon will be allocated to that bookmark permantely.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a favourite to a URL that will produce a firefox error page (e.g. http://www.wkjshdfkjsdhklajsdfh.com/) (this is to simiulate an actual bookmark, if a site is temporarily unavailable)
2. Visit another website with a web icon (e.g. http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/)
3. Select the favourite icon created in Step 1
Actual Results:  
4. The icon of the website visited in Step 2 will be assigned to the bookmark created in Step 1

Expected Results:  
The icon should not be added to the bookmark.

430792 was a recent trunk regression; I think 350440 fits better here. :)
