297205 - Failure to redraw Live Bookmarks and favicon with forward-back cache

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 292934

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Derek Poon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+

With the blazingly fast forward-back feature, the favicon and the Live Bookmarks
icon can get out of sync.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In about:config, set browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers to 5 (as suggested in
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/chase/archives/008085.html) and restart Deer Park.

2. Go to http://www.google.com/

3. Go to http://slashdot.org/

4. Click on the Back button.
Actual Results:  
Address bar still shows Slashdot's favicon.  Status bar still shows the Live
Bookmark icon for subscribing to Slashdot's RSS.

Expected Results:  
When going back to Google, it should show Google's favicon and remove the Live
Bookmarks icon Google has no associated RSS.

Deer Park RC1 (2005-05-31, pre-compiled binary from mozilla.org), no extensions
installed, on Mac OS 10.4.1.

This is probably a minor issue, unless someone figures out how to exploit the
bug for phishing.
