Just noticed that with 2.35 update URL icons broken when temporarily
dragging URL shortcut to desktop. Was broken in earlier version but was
fixed in 2.31. The problem is different this time.

Before 2.31 the problem was the URL shortcut listed an icon that was the
site's favicon cached in profile's shortcutCache but the generated icon
was a 0-byte file.

This time the file just does not exist. Example:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl
IDList=
HotKey=0
IconFile=C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\********.default\shortcutCache\9PF4OFpTd5DW+gjfwvzo5g==.ico
IconIndex=0


9PF4OFpTd5DW+gjfwvzo5g==.ico does not exist. In fact no icon files have
be created since update on the third.

OS Windows 7


Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.35

I just now dragged the bugzilla.mozilla.org icon to my desktop.  I got
the standard dark blue disc with the light blue seamonkey image as the
shortcut's icon.  Is there a problem with this?


I get blank page icon. Same OS

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 SeaMonkey/2.35

Note difference with older link for AngularJS with stackoverflow icon vs new Bugzilla link to the right. Properies so blank icon and the URL file points to non-existent file M1DXC+wwzmqA9IEIhJkqQA==.ico

This did work with 2.33.



Note:  I much prefer seeing the icon I got instead of a favicon.  It
makes it easier for me to distinguish Internet shortcuts from other
objects.  If the shortcuts used favicons, I would not be able to
distinguish the object from a locally installed application, a data
file, or a shortcut to another local object since these often have
differing icons.


I use SeaMonkey document icons for actual HTML files, but for URL shortcuts the favicon is very helpful for quick ID-ing link
