User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0
Steps to reproduce:
Please see the section: «What happened? (actual results)»
Actual results:
-
Some favicon on bookmarks disappear after rebooting the browser.
I tried to delete the file “favicons.sqlite” and restore the favicon through the Checkmarks extension(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkmarks-web-ext/), but this does not help. Some favicons disappear arbitrarily. May disappear after one restart of the browser or after 2,3,4 etc. -
Favicon is not added when adding a site page to bookmarks. You have to add a site and then open it from bookmarks so that the favicon of the site appears.
-
I ask to make the download of favicon as it was in Firefox <57. I mean, favicon is loaded at the address «* .site.com».
In Firefox 65, to show the favicon of the site, you need to specify the most accurate link with the full address.
For example: If you have added the site address “site.com/abc.html” in your bookmarks, but you opened the address “site.com”, the favicon will not load until you go to the page you need. Also applies to http and https. Favicon will not load if http://site.com is added to your bookmarks, and you visit https://site.com or vice versa.
Please sorry for my english. I use google translate.
Regards.

Veron, do you automatically clear history on exit? If so, I think this is the same as bug 1519058.

1. No, I do not use this option. My settings you can see on this image.
I think I have the same problem as trash0(bug 1519058), but I can not say for sure. But it is very similar that it is. I also suffer with the disappearance of favicons on my bookmarks.
I have never had any problems with favicon on Firefox 56.0.2, but when I switched to Firefox 65 I was very upset by this unpleasant moment :(
4. Please add the ability to change favicon on an empty tab. By default, there is always a ball with a red fox, I want to change it to my icon via “userChrome.css” as it was possible on Firefox 56.

Thank you for the settings image, as you're not saving browser/history that makes this close enough to bug 1519058 that I'm confident it is the same issue. We've just started landing a fix for it, so hopefully it'll be out in either 66 or 67.
For the favicon issue, I'd suggest asking around on our support sites or one of the other places that do userChrome.css modifications. The "ball with a red fox" is the Firefox logo btw.

I use the same settings as in my Firefox 56.0.2 and I did not experience any problems.
Ok, thanks. We will wait for fixes in the next upcoming versions of Firefox.
Mark, i received an answer only to the first item. Please consider these points. Really want fixes for all items.

The fact is that in Firefox Quantum there is no function that can change the standard ball for a new tab. This is not provided in the code for developers. At the moment it is impossible to make changes to userchrome.css, because there is no code for which you can grab. Therefore, I ask you to add a feature for developers that allows you to change this icon.

Sorry, that's one problem with including multiple issues in one bug - other issues can easily be missed. It is better to keep one per bug. That said, please see my answers below.

Unfortunately we can't always make everything customisable. Doing so would make the browser way too complex to maintain. You can try filing a new bug in Firefox / New Tab Page for an option, but I doubt it'd be a priority for us if we did accept it.

- Favicon is not added when adding a site page to bookmarks. You have to add a site and then open it from bookmarks so that the favicon of the site appears.
This is already covered by bug 715336.
- I ask to make the download of favicon as it was in Firefox <57. I mean, favicon is loaded at the address «* .site.com».
In Firefox 65, to show the favicon of the site, you need to specify the most accurate link with the full address.
For example: If you have added the site address “site.com/abc.html” in your bookmarks, but you opened the address “site.com”, the favicon will not load until you go to the page you need. Also applies to http and https. Favicon will not load if http://site.com is added to your bookmarks, and you visit https://site.com or vice versa.
I just tried this with the latest Firefox and Firefox 56, both behave the same - you don't get a favicon for a different page on the same site. This makes at least some sense, as different pages can specify different icons, and we don't necessarily know which will do what until it is loaded.
If you think I've missed something, please check you can reproduce it in 65 and not in 56 and if so, file a new bug with steps to repeat, preferably from a new profile.
