RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1485379

People

(Reporter: morciej, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:133.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/133.0

Steps to reproduce:

Start or restart Firefox

Actual results:

Custom icons on New Tab Page take a while to load. Sometimes they never begin to load until I stop Firefox, wait, and start it again. Icons from favicon cache load immediately.

Expected results:

I would expect for Firefox to CACHE custom icons, and also ALLOW loading them from LOCAL files. The usual reason for me to have custom icons is that the favicon for a particular site is low resolution, which makes it blurry, or is simply ugly. But since the original site has no other icon, I google something adequate. Now it is loaded from another site, and it is NOT a favicon. Result: it has to be re-loaded every time Firefox restarts, which for whatever reason sometimes fails. I only use only pinned icons.

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