Sayonara Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Weird. I keep seeing favicons on tabs, seemingly at random. Sometimes it's an "S", sometimes a "B". I know these are not part of the site, because they sometimes appear on domains I control. Anyone know what they are? Are they a feature of some extension I didn't bother to read the documentation for?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Sometimes I see that too... Occasionally it makes a different symbol things for all my favorites. Odd. Hope it's fixed in the next version.

Tesseract Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Don't insult an admin. It's dangerous. insult?!? paranoid isnt an insult...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Funny.. it gives popular science the Netscape logo.
Tesseract Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Funny.. it gives popular science the Netscape logo. What version of firefox are you people using I have no problems
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 0.9 But I certainly wouldn't say you have no problems.
Tesseract Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 0.9 But I certainly wouldn't say you have no problems. Well that makes sense i have version 0.9.1
Sayonara Posted July 22, 2004 Author Posted July 22, 2004 I have had no such problem and I use it all of the time.Your just paranoid. I didn't say it was a problem, I just want to know what it is. I suspect it is something to do with a nav or tabs extension. Funny.. it gives popular science the Netscape logo. Ah yes, "N", that was the other freaky one. What version of firefox are you people using I have no problems I'm on 0.9.2 What's a favicon? The icon that appears next to the site name in your favourites/bookmarks, in the address bar, or on a tab.
Dave Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Best guess is a small bug in either Firefox or one of the extensions, it'll probably get fixed in the next release.
Sayonara Posted July 22, 2004 Author Posted July 22, 2004 Sure and im on crack. Well then, you'd best seek help now that you've made it public knowledge. 0.9.2 was released the night before I made that warning thread.
Sayonara Posted July 22, 2004 Author Posted July 22, 2004 Because, as I said, they have appeared for domains I control, and I know for a fact there are no favicons stored on those domains and no head attributes that call favicons on any of the pages. I'm sure there is an underlaying pattern to their appearances, I just haven't figured it out yet.
Tesseract Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 If we confirm that everyone that has 0.9.2 has the favicons than theres an increased chance that thats the promblem, because I dont have them and i have 0.9.1
Phi for All Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 When I had 0.9 the favicons (including SFNs) would appear after I had used a bookmark, but would disappear when I closed out a Firefox window. Since I got 0.9.1 I get no favicons at all.
