User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; fr; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10

The icons in my bookmarks toolbar are sometimes replaced by the favicon of the currently displayed website.

The bug is illustrated here:

On the image, we see the first icon (a link to google) being changed to the icon of the newspaper website I visit (http://www.lefigaro.fr/)


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Google in your bookmarks toolbar as the first button, display only the icon with no text (it has happened to me with other bookmarks (e.g. facebook) on places in the toolbar different from the first one.
2. Click on it to load google, the icon in your toolbar should now be a "G"
3. Go on http://www.lefigaro.fr/
4. Wait a while on this page... the "google icon" disapears for a blue "F" which is the website favicon

The bug is not seen every time, and some days it just don't happens. But generally after restarting firefox the bug happens again.

How to get the google icon back in your toolbar:
click many times on the button with the wrong icon, after 3 or 4 times it will come back to normal.
Actual Results:  
the "google icon" disapears in the bookmarks toolbar and is replaced by a blue "F" which is the website favicon

Expected Results:  
Nothing should happen and my Google icon should be kept as normal !

I have seen this bug happening on older versions of Firefox, and with different computers / OS (windows xp & vista).
