Here is a test (taken from the SeaMonkey > smoketests & modified slightly) that I'd like you to try:
Wrong! If the site has a favicon and your preferences are set to put the icon on the bookmark, merely opening the Bookmarks Manager will attempt to fetch the icon. (If the bookmark is in a folder, opening the folder within Bookmarks Manager is required.) If it's a secure site, the site certificate must be negotiated. This does not require actually selecting a link to the site or even hovering (mouse over) the bookmark. > 1. Go to https://www.verisign.com/ and book mark that page.
