I loaded a screenshot of my desktop in a mozilla tab: http://turbogeek.org/screencaps/jmd-20011021.png and noticed as I repeatedly pgup/pgdowned to and from it, every time I focused it, Mozilla sent another "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1". As I was comparing this to something in another tab, it ended up sending 40-some gets for the file, which, does it exsist, and was already shown in the tab. It's a PNG, if that matters.
Forgot to mention, this is a recent build: Linux 2002010521
upgrading; this would imply that the favicon cache is broken.

> this would imply that the favicon cache is broken Bahaha... just figured that out, did ya? I like the one where you add a <link rel=icon href=foo.png> to your document, so the stupid favicon code first tries to get /favicon.ico... then it sees the <link>, and gets foo.png... then as it gets foo.png, it must realize it doesn't have /favicon.ico yet, so it sends another GET for it again. Classic. 3 GETs for a worthless 16x16 piece of eyecandy.

Dup of bug 262262?
WMF using recent trunk build
This is WFM on firefox 1.0.6, firefox 1.8 branch (20050826) and firefox 1.6a1 trunk (20050826)
I am still seeing this bug with 1.5 B2. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051016 Firefox/1.4.1.
Flags: blocking-aviary2.0?
WFM. No HTTP requests were sent when focusing tabs - I checked using tcpdump. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051120 Firefox/1.5
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051217 Firefox/1.6a1 Same as Bradley. Also not seeing this in SeaMonkey.
