User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386 on amd64 2.20; rv:71.93) (KHTML, like Gecko)  Trident/71.93;
Build ID: 20180409184545

Steps to reproduce:

1. load a web page in a tab, such as www.google.com
2. load another tab and switch to the second one
3. leave the browser inactive for 3~5 min
4. switch back the first tab


Actual results:

favicon is reloaded, including those in tab list button.


Expected results:

favicon should never be reloaded until (hard) refresh

It's possible the tab is discarded for inactivity, and then reloaded. Surely the favicons code doesn't issue any reload by itself.

Ok, honestly you have a lot of enabled add-ons, that makes hard to understand if your problem is related to Firefox or caused by one those add-ons.
I'd suggest to try reproducing the bug in Safe Mode (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode) that will temporarily disable add-ons, and in a new profile (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles) to understand if it's add-ons or Firefox.

I need to be out in near future or some long time, and I test it briefly on 60 FDE, and managed to reproduce.
And I believe you guys can also reproduce it if simply give a try.

Especially when you have a a lot of tab and choose to "show you tabs and windows from the last time" on every restart.

those restored tabs are not really loaded, they are placeholders, and as such when you click on them they are effectively loaded and the favicon is loaded as well, I don't think there's a strict relation with comment 0.

Please try my STR in comment 0, you will find all favicons went blank.

try with network disabled, sorry for typo.

This gif recording clearly shows favicon reloads itself.
If I have had my network disabled, they will go all blank.

This is likely fixed by bug 1453751
