Jud had an interesting thought - it would be cool if there was a way to tweak someone's webpage and insert the favicon each link next to the link itself.. sort of indicating where the link goes. This could probably be done pretty easily with XBL - just modify HTML's stylesheet to load up an XBL widget for all "a" nodes, with an anonymous image element. Then some JS could show the right image in the link. And yes, obviously this would only activated with a pref :) And there could be different options, like only doing it for links where we already have the favicon, or perhaps proactively retrieving the favicon for every link, whether or not to do this for image-links, etc. Not sure of the correct component.. but I figure I'll start with hyatt/ben/blake/etc

Here is another favicon bug <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135921" Title="[RFE] favicon in status bar on a:hover (if cached)">135921</a>(for links. see <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135921#c2">Comment #2</a> for my comments.

This seems like extension material to me....

I agree, definately for extensions. This would also be evil to implement because it would cause servers to be queried for every link on another server's page. This is really something to be done server-side.
