Weird.

 

I keep seeing favicons on tabs, seemingly at random.

 

Sometimes it's an "S", sometimes a "B".

 

I know these are not part of the site, because they sometimes appear on domains I control.

 

Anyone know what they are? Are they a feature of some extension I didn't bother to read the documentation for?

Sometimes I see that too... Occasionally it makes a different symbol things for all my favorites.

 

Odd. Hope it's fixed in the next version.

What's a favicon?

I didn't say it was a problem, I just want to know what it is.

 

I suspect it is something to do with a nav or tabs extension.

Ah yes, "N", that was the other freaky one.

 

 

What version of firefox are you people using I have no problems

I'm on 0.9.2

 

 

What's a favicon?

The icon that appears next to the site name in your favourites/bookmarks, in the address bar, or on a tab.

Best guess is a small bug in either Firefox or one of the extensions, it'll probably get fixed in the next release.

I'm on 0.9.2

 

Sure and im on crack.

Sure and im on crack.

Well then, you'd best seek help now that you've made it public knowledge.

 

0.9.2 was released the night before I made that warning thread.

my icons are all jacked up too

I'm 90% sure it is not a bug.

Why's that?

Because, as I said, they have appeared for domains I control, and I know for a fact there are no favicons stored on those domains and no head attributes that call favicons on any of the pages.

 

I'm sure there is an underlaying pattern to their appearances, I just haven't figured it out yet.

If we confirm that everyone that has 0.9.2 has the favicons than theres an increased chance that thats the promblem, because I dont have them and i have 0.9.1

I have 0.9 and I have the problems.

When I had 0.9 the favicons (including SFNs) would appear after I had used a bookmark, but would disappear when I closed out a Firefox window. Since I got 0.9.1 I get no favicons at all.

Mine's seems okay:
