If you could let us know the exact URL the favicons for those sites, that
will be useful.

When creating the favicon fetching code, I remember being worried that
there is no fallback for when the favicons don't exist. At the moment, the
code tries to fetch the favicon directly using:
http://g.etfv.co/WEB_SEARCH_URL
and will hang if it can't quite find it, this should be fixed.

I've just tested the flickr one and it doesn't return a favicon, as you're
saying. If you could try and figure out what the right URL should be to get
this to work, that'd be useful :)
