app.convert.com being shown with the gMail favicon in awesome bar suggestions
When I type stuff in the awesome bar to find a page I've visited previously, sometimes the list that pops up has the wrong favicon next to the suggestions. So far I've only noticed the gMail favicon there.

If the icons don't fix themselves by visiting those urls, this is likely a duplicate of bug 1533480, old-ish profiles have collected broken icons due to bugs that in the meanwhile have been fixed, but wrong icons were stored forever, and we don't expire them because those pages are now likely redirecting (thus not loading any new icons).
Bug 1592976 will probably help, but it's not in progress yet.
Unfortunately the simplest solutions atm are:
- Remove favicons.sqlite from the profile folder. Will lose all the favicons until the next time pages are loaded. Will have to load bookmarks at least once to fetch their favicons.
- Forget About This Site on the domains that present a wrong favicon. Will lose history for those pages, may not help with bookmarked pages.

The convert app is a new tool my team just started using. I visited it for the first time on Tuesday according to my History.
I'll try dumping my favicons.sqlite. Thanks.

If after removing favicons.sqlite the problem reappears, please let me know. We're still trying to confirm if there are race conditions we didn't handle yet.
