Feature request: Icons for tabs in tabsearch dialogue
Would be nice to have the icons for each tab in the tabsearch dialogue (SHIFT+T)
We tried putting favicons in the vomnibar a couple of years ago. It proved very unreliable (in the sense that we couldn't reliably get the favicons).
(It also didn't look that great.)
I'm going to guess that the same will/would be true with this feature request.
I would also like to see this implemented.
For context: I'm currently on Chrome but trying to move to Firefox. Chrome has an integrated tab search UI with a keyboard shortcut, and it shows the favicons. That visual cue makes scanning and picking the right tab much quicker.
Firefox does not have an equivalent built-in tab search. Vimium's tab search is the closest alternative workflow I have found, but without favicons the UX is noticeably worse.

Could this be revisited? A decade is quite a long time in software! 😄 It may be more feasible to implement now.
EDIT: seems like favicons are already supported by the extension, but it's just currently broken in Firefox: #3674
