What's the recommended way for requesting a bug to be reopened? I have noticed for a while that Seamonkey will sometimes load the wrong site icon. This happens a lot on Wikia, for instance -- instead of loading the specific wiki's icon, it will load the generic Wikia "W" icon.
Further tests verified that: - This will only happen when the "Aggressively look for website icons" (that is, the browser.chrome.favicons pref) is active. - This means that, despite having a valid icon loaded by the "link" element, Seamonkey still will look for a favicon.ico file in the server's root -- and override the "link" icon with favicon.ico - This does NOT happen in Firefox, even with browser.chrome.favicons set to "true", so it's a Seamonkey-specific issue. Looking through Bugzilla, I found bug 116801 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116801 ), titled "Mozilla looks for favicon even if <link> exists." It's an old bug from the Mozilla Application Suite days, but it seems to describe exactly the behavior I noticed, and the comments point out other good reasons (besides user's annoyance) for fixing this. Yet this bug was closed rather summarily with a "Worksforme" resolution back in 2008. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
