Expected behavior

query /favicon.ico

not query /favicon.ico every directory /user/favicon.ico /bbs/favicon.ico ...

This is still not resolved. When viewing https://framework.xenosi.de/exams/inputtypes.html

It's not normal to see https://framework.xenosi.de/exams/inputtypes.html/favicon.ico

This is the log when I visit https://urlopen.link/ and https://urlopen.link/karvonen/ Why is the favicon being looked up under the name CFNetwork? Why is it looking up //favicon.ico and /karvonen//favicon.ico when I didn't even specify the location of the icon in the HTML document? What is Facebot Twitterbot and what is it collecting about my browser without my knowledge?

I'm not the only one with this issue, and I can't find the agent name in the published source code. I'll delete the app and forget about it.

The problem still persists.

What I’ve been able to see in testing so far is that we have code which is attempting to fetch the favicon at an incorrect URL (the full website url with favicon.ico simply appended, rather than the root website directory). This should be fixed soon along with some additional work for https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/20871.

I wasn’t able to observe any other problems related to the favicon.ico paths, however. @knedl1k @crucifyer If you are seeing additional favicon path issues beyond what is described above please LMK, and if so it would be helpful if you could provide a few more details and steps to replicate. Thank you.

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/10939#issuecomment-2102535140 I couldn't find this in the source code. I don't use firefox-ios anymore. I can't believe it. Test it with a webpage where you can see the server logs. thank you.
