3. Close Firefox
4. Open firefox and check favicons

What are your privacy settings? Do you have Firefox clearing the cache on exit?

You are always starting Firefox in a private browsing session. Per the kb (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private+Browsing?bl=n&s=private%20browsing#What_Private_Browsing_will_not_retain) private browsing doesn't retain cache data. Favicons would be stored in the cache, so therefore they will not be retained.

Fixed is only for if the bug has been fixed by a checkin into the Mozilla Mercurial code repository
