1813447 - Favicon fallback with display issues (pulling “og:image” instead of /favicon.ico)

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: Tabs, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/27347.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a site like meiert.com or frontenddogma.com, where there’s no favicon markup, but a favicon at the root of the site
2. Bookmark the site, or switch to multi-tab view

Expected behaviour

Absent any markup pointing to favicons, the favicon.ico at the root should be used (as specified by the HTML standard, and as said to be fixed in #20180).

Actual behaviour

The Open Graph image is being pulled, ending up being displayed not to be recognizable at all.

(Open Graph images are usually not only not square, but of entirely different dimensions—now leading to a worse experience than pulling a usually low-res favicon.ico.)

QA, can you reproduce this bug? The screenshot in the GitHub issue shows frontenddogma.com's tab icon is very tiny.

Yes, it's the same for me on the latest Nightly 111.0a1 build (2023-01-31).
Device used: Google Pixel 7 (Android 13).

Confirmed this is still an issue in the Compose rewrite. Likely something with the Favicon component and BrowserIcons
