The site emsc-csem.org uses a favicon image (http://www.emsc-csem.org/favicon.ico) that is a 1400KB large bmp. When you load the page in the URL with Mozilla Firefox 1.0 (I use the version distributed with Debian Sarge package 1.0-4, gecko 20041128, not tested other versions/other platforms) the CPU rise to 100% and the program starts to allocate memory (200MB in 30 seconds) until crash. Disabling the load of favicons (browser.chrome.favicons=false) I can browse the site without any problem.

The faviconsize is supposed to be restricted to a few kb or so. Or is bug 252401 just about bookmarks ? I'm sure we had a (fixed) bug about a huge favicon causing a crash ~6 month back or so.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.
