The most recently visited link favicon will overdisplay the previously visited link. This occurs even on local development sites hosted on my own machine (two sites, two favicons, 50% chance that the favicon is in the right place if i visit the two sites consecutively). I appreciate that this is a real bug since it has been about for at least two years, but why is associating the favicon to a bookmark such rocket surgery? Is this a firefox thing? or a theme thing? or something created by the interplay between the two? peace. .p.

It happens randomly to all my favicons an drives me nuts. I even used the Add-On Favicon Picker 2 to manually set each favicon to an ico file on my hard drive and they still changed! Grrrr.

I must have an extension that is exasperating the issue. This bug happens to ALL of my favicon’d bookmarks, regardless of site and position. I must have an extension that is exasperating the issue.
