This bug can also cause sites to be shown with the wrong favicon in firefox 0.9:

1. type google.com into your URL bar now and press ENTER
2. press ESC immediately

The favicon for google will appear in the current tab!  Seems like favicons are
not updated at the same time as the rest of the page.

don't report bugs from FF 0.9 please.
Use Firefox 1.0PR

I believe this has been fixed with the check-in for bug 109672. Now the icon is
cleared when the location changes (onLocationChange), not when loading starts
(onStateChange/STATE_START).
