Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050816 Firefox/1.0+

Livemarks in the Bookmarks menu all use the same orange icon, and can be
confused with adjacent livemarks. I suggest an enhancement allowing the livemark
icon to be replaced with the site's Favicon, as with 'normal' bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add livemark to bookmarks
2. Hover over or click on a livemark entry
Actual Results:  
Cannot distinguish adjacent livemarks visually by icon. See screenshot at:

Expected Results:  
Livemarks visually represented with site Favicon, as with 'normal' bookmarks.

It is closely related to <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260306"Bug 260306</a>. In
that report, its noted that individual feed items inconsistently take on the
favicons. In this report, its noted that the parent feed never takes on the favicon.

livemark children now have a livemark item generic icon until visited, and that is different from the livemark icon. So this is WFM.
