From my investigations, the overlapping only occurs in compact density, and is mostly noticeable if the favicon is squared. Initially we tried verifying w/ the pinned Gmail favicon, but I think the envelope is not square so the overlap wasn't noticeable.

Patrick, could you work on this?

Yes, I can have a look as soon as we know where we're going with tabbar layout on a higher level (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1707686). I believe there's still some work to be done on the general layout of the "compact" density mode, and it obviously does not make a lot of sense to work on details like this indicator before deciding on the general layout of the tabbar, which is also why I started to work on the other issue first.
