I have a couple of different bugzilla bug urls listed in my history panel. Some of them have a bugzilla icon, while some others have the default domain based icon "M" (standing for Mozilla). See attachment. If the history item is a result of me visiting the url from my iPhone, then I see a bugzilla icon. But, if the history item is a result of synced history items, then it's appears to be displaying an "M" icon.
Yeah, we don't sync favicons (not even the URLs) for history. They're simply not in the database. There are only three ways to improve this: - Try to find an icon for a related URL. Bug 1196243. - Sync favicon entries in history. I filed Bug 1384685 for this. - Load the URL to try to find the icon. We do this for top sites, but it's a really expensive solution to the problem.

This is a known issue and a bit tricky to fix.
