193284 - Chimera ignores "shortcut icon" link element for favicon display

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 162893

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Wevah (Nate Weaver)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030208 Chimera/0.6+

Chimera ignores favicons specified via <link rel="shortcut icon"
href="/path/to/icon.ico" />

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a site that does not have a file "favicon.ico" in its document root,
but instead links to one in another place via <link rel="shortcut icon"
href="/path/to/icon.ico" />

Actual Results:  
The favicon is not displayed.

Expected Results:  
The favicon should be displayed as Mozilla does.

This is kind of annoying, especially when visiting sites that use different
favicons on different pages under the document root (like mame.dk does; it uses
a different icon for each game's information document).
