353248 - "Save Page As" does not save favicon

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 216907

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Fredrik Olofsson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; sv-SE; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6 (Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-5)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060918 Minefield/3.0a1

When saving a page with "Save Page As", favicon is not saved with page.

But what is worse, if the page contains a <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://whatever.com/favicon.ico"> the link is kept as is in the saved file. This means sites can use the favicon to track when and where saved files are viewed. newegg.com uses favicon-urls that looks likely to be personalised when you are logged in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page with <link rel="shortcut icon"...> (http://newegg.com/)
2. Save with "Save Page As" in File menu.

Actual Results:  
Saved page still contains favicon-url

Expected Results:  
Either:
- Favicon should be saved together with other images and <link rel="shortcut icon"...> changed apropriately.
- <link rel="shortcut icon"...> should be removed so that saved file does not reference external urls

Same bug in:
