313495 - Little website icons on the bookmarks folder are wrong.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271359

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Tal Tamir]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

The little website icons that can be found to the left of each bookmark propagate wrongly (and have been before version 1.0 of firefox). Most websites dont even LOAD their icon, and when a wensite does, an icon gets "stuck" where several bookmarks you open afterwards will all get its icon (which is not their icon).

There is also an apperant constant inflation in the size of the bookmarks file. So I suspect there is some junk in there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a website from a bookmarked folder
2. If the bookmark changes to include an icon, open other websites and observe how their icon changes to match the first's
If the bookmark does NOT change to show their icon, its still a bug (just a different one). Most of the time it does not change, sometimes it changes multiple ones to the wrong icon...

Actual Results:  
Wrong Icons

Expected Results:  
Load the correct icon for every page every time it is opened. Remove current icon of said page does not contain an embedded icon.

Just to clarify my post. The icons have been propagating wrongly before version 1.0. They still do with version 1.5 beta 2.
