1272648 - Consider supporting image_src icons

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Favicon Handling, defect, P5)

Description

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

I was looking at why we only show a tiny icon for 9GAG.

Apart from a tiny "shortcut icon", they only list an "image_src" icon in their head:
<link rel="image_src" href="http://images-cdn.9gag.com/img/9gag-fb-pic.png" />

It seems like "image_src" is legacy but it is/was used by Facebook and Yahoo:
