Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

Many websites on the internet don't have favicons set. Instead, in Firefox a white globe-icon appears. Please allow manual selection of favicons for bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar.

Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History
Type: defect → task
OS: Unspecified → Windows 10
Hardware: Unspecified → Desktop

(By manual selection I mean where the user can select his/her own 64x64 .jpg file on the system and Firefox loads/copies that icon into Firefox install location for example and displays that file in the bookmark toolbar and in the tab)

It is still possible for WebExtensions to cover this need, as in the past, by injecting a <link rel> into the page on load, we'll load it as a normal favicon for the page. For example https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/favicon-customizer/?src=search is doing something like that.

In the past we closed similar requests as a wontfix, because it's not something most of our users need, and add-ons cover the need.
