Thanks for the reports. Some missing titles are fixed via https://github.com/mozilla-services/merino-py/pull/280. As for the missing icons, it's expected to show the generic globe icon if we couldn't find any icon from the original page.

I have verified that the whatsapp suggestion now has the correct title, but is still missing an icon on the latest Firefox Release 114.0.1, Firefox Beta 115.0b4, and Nightly 116.0a1 using Windows 10 x64, macOS 12.6.5, and Linux Mint 21.1.

There have also been multiple changes for various strings and some extra sites still have issues with favicons, however those issues are currently tracked in DENG-916.

Considering this I'll mark this issue as verified fixed.
