Details

When bookmarking the website https://www.sportstracklive.com/en only the generic favicon shows for the bookmark, although the page's real favicon shows in the tab every time.

Two preliminary fidings:

  • It seems to be related to the fact that the request by FaviconLoader.jsm ends with NS_BINDING_ABORTED
  • UBlockOrigin is likely a necessary condition for the issue, although...
    • ...it has been reported to work occasionally with UBO
    • ...deactivating UBO for the page does not change anything

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thank you for filing the bug, yesterday I tried with you to reproduce it, and I was successfully initially, and I can still reproduce it in my default profile.
Though I've been unable to reproduce it in a new clean profile. I was able to reproduce it in the clean profile after installing UBO... but in later tests it worked instead.
So, there's something intermittent and strange here.
I also see the NS_BINDING_ABORTED errors from FaviconLoader.

Severity: -- → S4
Priority: -- → P3

Not sure if this is the same bug but I also see NS_BINDING_ABORTED when 304 Not Modified is received on svg and png images, e.g. check https://www.sketch.com when images are being loaded (it seems intermittent, refresh a few times and different images at random will be marked with NS_BINDING_ABORTED).

I've reproduced this issue in Nightly 116.0a1 (2023-07-02) and Firefox 115.0 versions on Windows10 x64 without the UBlockOrigin extension installed and using a new profile:

Setting this as NEW.
