Possibly really dumb Firefox question, but....

[robertwnielsen]

a friend of mine once told me that "the only stupid question is the one you never ask" -- so, here goes.


Why does Firefox not display favicons in the jumplist, like IE 9 does?


Not that it's any big deal one way or the other, I'm just curious.

probably because the jumplist is a microsoft tool and so is Ie9.
interestingly when i copied a seven forums shortcut to the desktop from firefox and Ie9
the favicons show in ie9 and not firefox.

Well, that would make sense....I suppose.

It looks like it could be a bug, and no I do not mean a virus or anything like malware.

It has to do with a difference how Windows IE handles .ico files, and what Mozilla has to do in order to compensate. (Similar to what boohbah posted)

Again...(Similar to what boohbah posted)

What version do you have? The stable 6.0.1 just came out.
Post #7 in the above bugzilla link talks of a patch on 11-07-14.
