            Bug ID: 496905
           Summary: Favicons on bookmarks toolbar do not update
                    consistently
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Falkon
           Version: 24.08.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

SUMMARY
The favicons in the bookmarks toolbar are not updated properly. Instead of
being updated as soon as you load the bookmark (like Firefox, Chrome, etc. do),
more often than not the favicon will not be updated at all, or only randomly
days later. When starting with a fresh install of Falkon, this means you're
looking at a sea of default globe favicons.

Quite possibly related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493694

Ideally, favicons would be updated instantly once the bookmark has finished
loading, especially when still using the default globe icon. Perhaps a
right-click menu with the option to force-load the favicon is an option too?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Populate bookmarks toolbar with bookmarks.
2. They will all have the default globe icon.
3. Click on the bookmarks to load them.

OBSERVED RESULT
The favicons of the bookmarks are not updated, or only very rarely and
inconsistently.

EXPECTED RESULT
The favicons are updated instantly after the bookmark has finished loading.
