Konqueror for Linux does support those nifty ca. 16x16 icons some pages include, and it shows them in the taskbar, in the URL bar and in other places. Why can't mozilla?
What seems to me the original: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32087 >From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; WinNT4.0; en-US; m14) BuildID: 2000031317 like IE5 mozilla shows icons in the location bar. Why not have this be a user defined icon like is possible in ie5. and maybe also make the location bar a list like object where you can choose previous locations Bug count at present: 28 Status: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120949 "I believe favicons should be disabled for 1.0. The open issues with them have grown large enough that 2 milestones (when I have to devote my time to many more important features like perf/stability/XUL1.0/XBL1.0) won't cut it. This bug is about turning the pref off for favicons in Mozilla. Post 1.0, we can revisit the favicons problem." Salient point IMHO: If "layers" was dumped in the name of compliance, on what basis was "favicons" implemented? hfx_ben -- Ask not for what the code can do for you but, rather, yada yada yada yada yada
