User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171128222554 Steps to reproduce: 1. Create fresh profile. 2. Open some tabs, set firefox to restore previous tabs and windows. 3. Go to about:support and refresh profile. 4. When new profile launched, choose to restore all tabs in dialog. Actual results: All tabs, except those that you loaded manually, don't have favicons. Expected results: Favicons should survive refresh or should be downloaded.
Related: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1620. With Tree Style Tab and big session it causes Firefox to download a lot of data from network (could downloading ~1200 favicons result in 40 megabytes or entire pages is downloaded in this bug?). Issue includes example of bugged session and network log. Probably would be fixed with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616, but I think it's worth mentioning.

I'm not sure this is really a bug, but I guess so. Favicons reappear when you restart the browser normally with the show-windows-and-tabs-from-last-time setting, so I guess ideally they should when you refresh your profile, too. I tested just now, and favicons.sqlite is indeed migrated over to the new profile, and it contains the favicons from the old profile, so that's not the problem. I'm not sure how favicons are restored on tabs.
