297779 - Favicon in tab is from site root, instead of link.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 109672

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Frej Bjon]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.0 (Windows NT 5.0; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

If a page with a favicon specified in a link-tag is opened, with no other tabs 
opened, the tab will get the icon from the site root (/favicon.ico) while the 
location bar will have the right one. This becomes apparent when opening another 
tab after the first one. The problem only occurs if the tab bar is not displayed 
when the page is opened, i.e if it's the first page opened. The problem also 
occurs when typing in the address.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open URL (or any page with <link rel"shortcut icon" href="favicon">
2.Open another tab
3.

Actual Results:  
A different icon is shown in the tab, taken from /favicon.ico, not from the link 
tag href.

Expected Results:  
The link tag icon should be displayed.

i'm not quite sure i understand your description [is it weekend yet?].
Can you provide more detailed steps to reproduce in short sentences?

Could you make a testcase to reproduce this?

I have a feeling this may have been fixed since, by the fix for bug 109672.

Frej, would you please be able to download a nightly trunk build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
and see if it's now fixed for you?

cheers

Back from holidays, it does seem it's already fixed in the nightly trunk by 
#109672. I'll mark as duplicate.
