From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011114 BuildID: 20011114 Several sites that have no rel="... icon" defined in a link element show GUI site icons today. AFAICS this may only result in blind fetching for /favicon.ico. This contradicts with the consensus Hyatt described in <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108823#c14>. Seems like something has gone wrong with defaulting the hidden pref for /favicon.ico grabbing to 'off'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a new profile (just to be shure that everythin is clean) 2. go to <http://www.excite.com/> 3. view source 4. there is no <link rel="... icon" ...> Actual Results: There is an icon in the URL bar and in the tabs. Expected Results: There should be none, because non is referenced in the page.

The /favicon.ico consensus decision is on the branch. On the trunk, fetching /favicon.ico is on, presumably for testing purposes. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 109843 ***
