1259264 - Connecting WebIDE to a tab on the phone shows missing/broken icon image.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect, P3)

Description

[Jukka Jylänki]

Attachment: missing_icons.png

STR:

1. Navigate Android Firefox to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40949268/emcc/10kCubes/10kCubes.html
2. Connect WebIDE to Android phone (tested via USB)
3. Open the tab that the Android phone is on.

Observe that the icons for the page show as if there was a broken/missing link to a page icon graphic both in the left hand side in the "TABS" view, as well as next to the page title in the main view. See the attached screenshot.

If the rationale is to show that the page did not have an icon (the test page doesn't), then perhaps it should show a graphic of a blank sheet or something else that feels "default", since the current graphic makes it show as if Firefox browser shipped with some icon file missing(?)

I believe this occurs if the page is believed to have a favicon, but the URL is invalid (leads to a 404, etc).  Anyway, I agree it could be handled better!

We don't plan to alter the WebIDE interface at this stage, since it's planned for removal (bug 1314811).
