 website's root.


For the second issue - this might be related to the fact that the
favicon may be already in the browser's cache. Try flushing the cache
(via preferences/advanced/cache or Manuel Reimer's PrefBar add-on),
reload the page(s) and see if that makes a difference.

It also may depend on whether SM is looking for the default
favicon.ico file at the server's root level or whether the web page is
explicitly specifying a favicon file via alink rel=shortcut icon
...  orlink rel=icon ...  statement. Viewing the web page source
will confirm this.

I forgot to add that browser.chrome.favicons should be set to true 
as well. I've seen unpredictable favicon display if it's set to false.

It's pretty intermittent,not with any particular sites. One time I had 5 
wikipedia tabs and 2 imdb.com tabs open, then I saw that all of them 
were showing the wikipedia favicon.
