The site icon on bookmarks must not be blank. Firefox should update it.

Reproducible: Always




bookmarks will have favicons. But sometimes when we resync our bookmarks, It wouldn't appear unless the user visit the page
If you are referring to having favicon's synced between computers this is bug 428378. If not, please provide the specific steps to reproduce
steps to reproduce.
step 1: make a sync account and bookmark many sites which offer favicons.
step 3:Make a new firefox profile and use your sync account info to restore bookmarks in the new profile.
step 4: Bookmarks have been restored but their favicons are all blank in the bookmarks manager until you visit the sites to get them back

So I think Firefox needs to find Favicons in a background process simultaneously when bookmarks are being restored.
Bug 428378 would solve the issue as it would sync the favicon to the new computer. Also, bug 483518 would solve the issue by updating the favicon in the background.

I lean towards this being a dupe of one of those bugs.
