I cannot reproduce with the provided steps, the bookmark takes the icon on first load. Did you try in safe mode? https://support.mozilla.org/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

Nope, comment 0 didn't point that out as a requirement. > it happens every time i try to add or edit an address that redirects. > looking at the exported bookmark shows no favicon location. So, favicons in general are considered part of history, but for bookmarks we should be allowing bypassing a disabled history. But it's possible the bypass is bogus in case of redirects. This is what should be verified.
