[Affected versions]:
- Nightly 114.0a1
- Beta 113.0b8
- Firefox 12.0.1
[Affected Platforms]:
- Mac 12.4
- Windows 10 x64
- Linux Mint 20
[Prerequisites]:
- Have a new profile with the following prefs set:
- browser.search.region to US
- browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.dataCollection.enabled to true
- browser.urlbar.merino.providers to adm,top_picks
- browser.urlbar.bestMatch.enabled to true
[Steps to reproduce]:
- Open the Nightly browser with the profile from the prerequisites.
- Quickly type "asos" in the awesome bar.
- Repeat Step 2 with different keywords, eg: udn, foodn, verywell, sfu
- Observe the Top Pick's favicon.
[Expected result]:
- The Top Picks result is correctly displayed.
[Actual result]:
- The favicon of the Top Picks result is displayed with a delay if it was the first time triggered.
[Notes]:
- The issue is reproducible for the Top Picks that are showing for the first time. However, I am not sure if the issue is only reproducible with the keywords that with the first characters trigger a result and the full keyword trigger a different result. For example the "as" keyword triggers the "aus.edu" result and the "asos" keyword trigger "asos.com" result.
- Attached is a screen recording of the issue.

I'll bump this down to an S3. It's a cosmetic problem, so by definition it could be an S4, but it's a core part of the feature. I don't think it's an S2 at this point.
The images are fetched from a CDN at the time the suggestions are displayed. We could pre-fetch images for the top N (i.e., most likely to be visited) domains, where N is like 10 or 100. We probably don't want to pre-fetch all 1,000. We could also maybe start fetching after the user types the first N chars of a recognized domain.
Severity: S2 → S3
Priority: -- → P3
