700940 - Favicon transparency results in purple background sometimes

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 703115

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Limi (:limi) — Firefox UX Team]

Attachment: Purple transparency

Not exactly sure how to reproduce this, but I have seen several times where the favicon gets to have a purple background if it has transparency. Attached is a screenshot that demonstrates it.

Note that the site actually has a favicon, it just didn't load this time, and it fell back to the default missing icon imagery, but with purple backdrop.

I think you are just seeing the temporary "color the favicon background based on SSL level"

I saw this with green backgrounds (github.com is an example). I also thought this was a bug but the SSL level makes sense, not sure it's particularly clear to users though.

Comment 3

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

could you verify that we no longer use colors here?

We use security lock (Bug 703115) and not colors anymore.
Fixed as a part of Bug 703115,
