If you click a bookmark on the toolbar, and then quickly click on another bookmark so a new request is sent before the first response is received, then the original bookmark icon changes to the favicon of the new page.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bookmark (A) to www.google.co.uk on the toolbar.
2. Create a bookmark (B) to www.google.co.uk/analytics on the toolbar.
3. Ensure that both icons show correctly.
4. Clear the cache.
5. Click on B and then quickly click A.

Actual Results:  
The icon for www.google.co.uk shows on both bookmarks.

Expected Results:  
The bookmark for B should not have changed.

Can you please update to Firefox 3.5 and see if the issue happens there in Firefox Safe Mode?

I can confirm very similar though slightly more extensive: When browsing normally the first favicon in the bookmark toolbar changes to the site you are currently or last on.  It does not happen every time, I am monitoring for patterns.  Yahoo's Y favicon has changed to Google, Wikipedia, etc. and returned back on it's own during normal navigation on another tab.
