following scenario:

page 1 has a favicon. i visit page 1, get to see the favicon in the address-bar, it also shows up in a previously made bookmark of page 1.

then, i disconnect my router from the internet in order to make the following page 2 unaccessible.

page 2 has no favicon, but is also bookmarked. still being on page 1, i navigate to page 2. as there is no internet connection, firefox can't load the page.

when i now look under bookmarks however, page 2 has taken on the favicon of page 1.

this has been reproduceable with every recent build of firefox i have tried; stable and unstable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make two bookmarks, one of a page with favicon, one without.
2. visit the one with the favicon, see that the bookmark gets its favicon
3. disconnect your access to the page without favicon
4. visit the page without favicon
Actual Results:  
the bookmark of the page without favicon will take on the favicon of the previously visited page.

Expected Results:  
it doesn't.
