Description Daniel M. Albro 2004-05-12 13:09:10 UTC
On some sites, such as http://www.lyx.org, Firefox (I have mozilla-firefox-0.8-r3) displays the website icon (the one that goes in the
bookmarks menus and next to the URL in the URL line) garbled.  On
other sites (http://www.gentoo.org) it does not.  The firefox package
that comes with Debian (unstable) does not do this.  I have also tested this
with mozilla-firefox-bin, which also exhibits the same problem.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-firefox
2. firefox
3. browse to http://www.lyx.org

Actual Results:  
favicon is garbled.

Expected Results:  
should have shown the icon correctly (a little bird thingee)

For all I know
this is some compilation problem with one of my libraries, so here are my USE
flags and CFLAGS:

CFLAGS="-march=athlon-mp -O3 -pipe -mfpmath=387 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -momit-leaf-
frame-pointer -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -ftracer -ffast-math -fprefetc
h-loop-arrays -fexpensive-optimizations -finline-limit=600"

USE="3dnow acpi -apm aim alsa apache2 -oss -arts cdr curl directfb dga emacs esd
 fbcon -gnome gtk2 guile -kde mmx nptl ofx pda qt sse tetex wxwindows X"

My system is a dual Athlon MP 1800+, MSI K7D Master motherboard, ATI Radeon 7200
graphics card.  I am currently running the xorg-x11 X server, but the same
problem occurred when I ran xfree.

mozilla-1.6-r1 doesn't show a favicon for http://www.lyx.org at all.

Other sites: http://nwvault.ign.com/index2.shtml, http://www.savingforcollege.com/ (I *think* this one is messed up...), http://www.bartleby.com/.
Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-25 21:55:59 UTC
None of the sites mentioned show any favicon garbled or otherwise.
