Hi, thank you for providing the site, it helped in reproducing the issue. I reproduce the mentioned issue with device Huawei Mate 20 lite(Android 8.1.0) and on LG K10(Android 7.0) on builds Firefox Release 67.0.3, Firefox Beta 68.0b14 and on Firefox Nightly 69.0a1(2019-07-02)

I will mark the ticket as NEW for further investigation.

Note: The issue is not reproduced on Chrome - the favicon is displayed

Essentially a dupe of 507641. We use the Android OS networking to fetch the icons. It does not have any of the account info.
