I kinda don't want this to happen, but if it has to it has to.

I'm sure someone will be able to create an add-on to display the favicons.

That's too bad.Favicons are one of the good things users like about Firefox.

Favicons were one to be the good thing as it adds for the better browsing experience and to avoid the confusion by the user when lots of tabs were opened.
