Steps to reproduce:

Created a waterfall for http://www.comparethemarket.com using WebPagetest (http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140409_6Z_644d93604c98bec9e8d76d51e3f3f4f3/1/details/)


Actual results:

Favicon as specified using <link rel="shortcut icon" is the fifth request in the waterfall


Expected results:

As the favicon is probably the lowest priority resource on a page I'd expect it's load to be deferred until later so the connection can be used for higher priority content.

As a comparison in the Chrome waterfall for the same page, the icon is request #33 (http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140409_81_f7bfda78d3ab912fc4db4b5f6b6ba72d/1/details/)
Thanks for the report.  Incidentally, it will fixed in Fx 29.
