There appears to be no way to disable favicons from displaying on tabs without disabling them globally. I'm creating a skin which replaces the normal bookmark-item icon with a stylized image for the tab end. This works well until a tab is opened for a site employing favicons like, say, mozilla.org. There should be a way to disable the favicon for the tabbrowser section. For example: .tabbrowser-tab-favicon { display: none } Of course, this should have no effect on the bookmark-item icon ... just any favicon that may come along.

tab > .tab-icon works for me, could you try that?

Christian, that disables all icons on tabs, including the default bookmark-item and the tab[busy] ones. I'm using those items to provide a custom stylized tab cap which works wonderfully until a favicon comes on the scene. I can resolve this by using: #page-proxy-favicon { display: none; } but that also removes it from the urlbar which I don't want to happen. My expectation is that one should be able to specifically disable/enable the showing of the favicon wherever it appears.

Is this a duplicate of 109899(option to disable Tab icons)?

Robert, not really. I already can disable tab icons but I'm using them to create a specialized left-side tab contour, i.e., I've replaced the default "list-style-image: url("chrome://communicator/skin/bookmarks/bookmark-item.gif");" reference in browser.css with my own image. However, whenever a favicon-enabled site is tabbed, it trashes my kewl tab-cap.

does !important work?

timeless, yes but, sadly, not for this :-)

ok, well then enough of this, the problem is probably that tabbed browser does direct sets instead of css rules.

timeless, in purusing the skin/content/*.jar xml & xul files it appears that it only checks to see if the globally-defined favicon support is enabled and, if so, it processes the url (including any site-enabled favicons), i.e., it doesn't appear there are provisions for nodal favicon enabling??? I say this without a lot of certainty since that code is quite convuluted and I've misplaced my XML/XUL decoder ring :-(
