As I've said several times before, Mozilla does not spam the site on every visit, only on the first visit. It then caches information of a miss to prevent spamming the site again (and this persists across sessions), and on a hit it caches the favicon itself to prevent spamming the site again (this also persists acros sessions). Favicons are always requested in such a way that the caches are checked first, so validation doesn't occur.
One issue with favicons is that I'm honoring the expiration set by the Web site, and I need to quit doing that, since that leads the icons to expire relatively quickly.
