1437386 - Top Sites sometimes loses favicons

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1398970

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/604.5.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/11.0.3 Safari/604.5.6

Steps to reproduce:

Use Top Sites on current or previous Android Nightlies

Sometimes one or two of the Top Sites favicons disappear to be replaced by generic alphabet letters. Navigating to the page represented by the missing favicon does not bring the favicon back. Restarting Nightly does bring the favicon back.

I see this typically once a day. A subset of my Top Sites seem most affected

Often affected:-
   bikeradar.com
   www.arstechnica.com
   uk.mobile.reuters.com

Rarely (never?) affected:-
   bbc.co.uk/news
   www.theverge.com
   www.theguardian.com

I can't tell the steps to reproduce, it "just sometimes happens".

cheers now
