Hi,


In sid's iceweasel 3 I notice a difference with iceweasel 2:

when a tab is loading the favicon shown would slowly rotate in version
2, but in version 3 it stays stuck at the beginning.

Searching bugzilla.mozilla.org I find nothing under "favicon", but it
clearly is a visible but minor bug.

Anybody else notice this behavior?

The latest FF3 nightly build apparently is called "minefield" and the
favicon works correcly there.

This works OK in FF3RC3.
Is it a debian bug?

I filed a bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487411

It was answered right away by Mike Hommey:

The most probable reason is that the new icon is an APNG, which
iceweasel 3 doesn't recognize, while firefox does. APNG is a torture of
the PNG standard, that was rejected by the PNG group, and official
libpng is probably not going to include APNG support for a while.
Firefox uses a bundled and heavily patched libpng, which we can't for
maintenability reasons.

So that explains it.

BTW, it's called the 'throbber'...
