Hi Ania,

QA has found a limitation in our favicon import for Safari, where certain favicons don't become available to us until Safari has closed. Can I presume this is not a blocker for the Safari favicon import support?

Hi!
I wouldn't consider it a blocker. Does this happen (no favicons imported) to all bookmarks added to Safari in the user's last session there or to only some of them?

It seems so, yes. Tried today on macOS 11:

  1. Opened Safari and bookmarked 6 webpages on main view and in folders and subfolders.
  2. Opened the latest Nightly with a new profile and imported all bookmarks.
    AR: None of the bookmarks from step 1 had favicons.

After closing Safari and importing the bookmarks again on a new profile on Nightly all the bookmarks from step 1 had favicons.
