The Webpage-Thumbnail-Tagbs in Fennec could represent the page better.
Solutions proposed in a project (conducted by jan D.) at the Bauhaus University Weimar are:
-close-buttons should appear smaller to free the recognition-relevant left side. 
-improve the image-scaling in the tab rendering
-integration of a favicon


Reproducible: Always

On Fennec Native the tabs UI has been redone. Now the preview is taken from the top left part of the page where most of the websites have there logo. Also the close button is separated and the tabs are much more distinguishable making it unnecessary to add a favicon to the thumbnail.
