Description Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy 2009-12-19 11:53:15 UTC 
Once the icons are stored in ~/.gnome2/epiphany/ephy-favicon-cache.xml, it can't be loaded back. Somehow it does not go through "if (is_ao)" code in ephy_favicon_cache_get and goes straight to 

		pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_nw_from_file (pix_file, NULL);

where it fails to recognize file type and returns NULL.

As a result, first time I ever visit any page, there is favicon. After I restart ephy and visit that page again, the icon is gone.

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this. Are you testing with any site in particular?
