The GitHub favicon is being displayed as the top site icon for The Globe and Mail.

I tried setting the globe and mail into my topsites in nightly, and it worked as expected.

Do you know what version you saw this in, and is there anything else I can try to reproduce what you're seeing.

I guess I should ask another question, since this might be related to another bug:

Does newtab get these icons from places (bookmarks/history)? I've got bookmarks with incorrect favicons, so if newtab is getting the wrong icon from places, then this is a places bug and not a newtab bug.

Surprisingly the wrong icon has always been the github icon here too.
Right now, 6 of 32 top sites have the github icon, though none of those sites are github.
