I don't think we should implement this. Surely it provides a better user experience but that's always the tradeoff when considering implementing proprietary features from other vendors. If we changed our user-agent to something that matches Android or iOS devices, we would get mobile versions of websites more often and provide a better experience. Instead, we have a webcompat team that reach outs websites to help them follow standards. Same thing with implementing webkit prefixed CSS properties.

Why is this different than our other compatibility problems?

Hi folks,

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921014 is tracking: support link 
rel="apple-touch-icon” in our browser API.
With this we could start to fetch and display the "apple" format icon in FxOS 
or any app using browser API.

There are already some opinions about we should or we shouldn’t implement it in 
the bug comments.

This mail is to bring this topic to more people.

Thanks.
