Here is an IRC log of a conversation with omeringen, which may clarify the bug:

Jun 02 16:40:09 <omeringen>	hey
Jun 02 16:40:21 <omeringen>	could someone please make a test about : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760773
Jun 02 16:40:39 <omeringen>	on a Win64 build ?
Jun 02 16:40:56 <omeringen>	i filled that bug for Linux only
Jun 02 16:57:36 <rindolf>	omeringen: I will need to boot into Windows.
Jun 02 16:57:53 <rindolf>	omeringen: must it be Win64 or can it also be Windows 32-bit?
Jun 02 16:58:07 <omeringen>	okay, because i believe it not a linux related issue
Jun 02 16:58:16 <rindolf>	omeringen: and you should provide a better method to reproduce it.
Jun 02 16:58:21 <rindolf>	omeringen: what?
Jun 02 16:58:32 <rindolf>	A more methodical method.
Jun 02 16:58:41 <rindolf>	Your bug report is short of details.
Jun 02 16:58:42 <omeringen>	rindolf,  there is no a special way. . . there is just NO thumbnails at all for this websites
Jun 02 16:59:00 <rindolf>	omeringen: by thumbnails do you mean the favicons to the left of the address bar?
Jun 02 16:59:11 <rindolf>	Or the ones appearing in the bookmarks menu?
Jun 02 16:59:12 <omeringen>	thumbnails for new tab feature
Jun 02 16:59:25 <rindolf>	omeringen: I don't understand.
Jun 02 16:59:30 <rindolf>	omeringen: what are thumbnails?
Jun 02 16:59:33 <omeringen>	don't you know new tab feature ?
Jun 02 16:59:39 <rindolf>	omeringen: no, I don't.
Jun 02 16:59:50 <omeringen>	oh okay :) 1 min pls
Jun 02 17:00:15 <rindolf>	omeringen: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/New_Tab_Page - this?
Jun 02 17:00:25 <rindolf>	I've been using Firefox 10 ESR here.
Jun 02 17:00:40 <omeringen>	https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Features/New_Tab_Page
Jun 02 17:00:45 <omeringen>	yep
Jun 02 17:00:48 <rindolf>	OK.
Jun 02 17:01:07 <omeringen>	if you can check latest nightly, it would be really good
Jun 02 17:01:10 <rindolf>	omeringen: OK, let me try it on my Win32 VM.
Jun 02 17:01:15 <omeringen>	ok
OK, I can reproduce it on my Windows XP SP 3 VM with the "Nightly" version of firefox - neither distrowatch.com nor twitter.com display any thumbnails/previews after they are placed into the "New tab" displayed sites. It seems like a serious bug.

I made a test on WinXP SP3 x86. Looks like it's not a platform dependent issue.

This is related to bug 756881 (maybe a dupe) and probably caused by bug 754608. Do all of these pages send the 'Cache-Control: no-store' header?

Looking at the header using the WebConsole I find:

This on the Distrowatch.com site.  So does appear its using 
'cache-control: no-store'  

Note: I'm not anywhere near expert on reading this stuff - just stumbling around.

Yeah, same on twitter, distrowatch and imageshack

Cache-Control:no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate, pre-check=0, post-check=0

Thanks for your interest.
