This is a little bit strange, but I have a site with no favicon.ico defined and
I frequent a related site which does have the favicon.ico. If I navigate around
just right, I can make my site appear with the other site's favicon.ico in the
quick links toolbar. I imagine that some competitors wouldn't want to see this
happen. What's causing it? I'm running FF1.03, but I've seen this issue since 1.01.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to: http://forums.probetalk.com/
2. Add the site to the quick links toolbar beneath the location bar
3. Click around the site until the favicon.ico shows up on the toolbar.
4. Browse to: http://www.probeparts.com/
5. Add the site to the quick links toolbar beneath the location bar
6. Click the first quick link to forums.probetalk.com
7. Click the second quick link to www.probeparts.com
Actual Results:
Presto-change-o: the probeparts.com favicon.ico suddenly changes to the icon of
probetalk.com. Probeparts.com has no favicon.ico file defined. The icon
appearing in Firefox is being "borrowed" from the probetalk.com site.
Expected Results:
The icon for probeparts.com should remain unchanged as a default icon; despite
the second level domain names starting with the first five characters, the two
sites are unrelated and should not share the icon.
