Confirming with Firefox 0.10.1. Of note is that the ICO file is 140kb, and
contains six icons. Perhaps the bookmark icon code doesn't handle multi-icon ICOs?

Comment 2

This behavior was caused by the changes in bug 252401. Favicons larger than 16k
are not saved in bookmarks.html. It would be better if it was smart enough to
break up multi-image ICOs and only save the useful part, but that's a seperate
issue. Making INVALID ("not a bug, a feature!").
