Details

The favicon system is a mess. There are at least two methods of getting favicons: the first when then the user views a page, the second when the user has not visited a page (e.g. for synced history in top sites) or the favicon has fallen out of the cache. In at least one of those instances, we are seeing low resolution icons being displayed, and re-sizing artifacts. This is compounded by Top Sites which is asking for the favicons for a page, but linking to a host. Investigate and potential re-write.
