I’ve been seeing that issue since yesterday (it displays the Discourse logo, not SP’s), but when I mentioned it in the staff area, nobody else could reproduce it.
Yeah… it’s going to be a pain to find, but your Network graph should show the image file being loaded out of sjc1.discourse-cdn.com (or something.discourse-cdn.com)…
If you can locate the filename, then the javascript search becomes much easier…
faviconChanged: function faviconChanged() {
if (Discourse.User.currentProp("dynamic_favicon")) {
var url = Discourse.SiteSettings.site_favicon_url;
// Since the favicon is cached on the browser for a really long time, we
// append the favicon_url as query params to the path so that the cache
// is not used when the favicon changes.
if (/^http/.test(url)) {
url = Discourse.getURL("/favicon/proxied?" + encodeURIComponent(url));
}
var displayCount = this.displayCount;
new window.Favcount(url).set(displayCount);
}
},
Which originates from https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/sitepoint/assets/_application-120a9859062369fd34793ca4d611898cedee13a3047484056f2a601c8db1a298.js Line 8548.
It would seem something is triggering this function and pointing to a URL that contains a cached icon…
EDIT: At this point, we’re probably beyond my ability to decipher , and will require either someone with server access, or a Discourse engineer to debug.
Having said that, I wouldn’t have searched
for it any further than I did in post #5
My original post was only made to point out
the oddity, rather than seek a cure and, to be
honest, I am quite happy to live with or without
icons, be they right or wrong, in the browser tab.
Yes, sorry. I realised it had been cut off in its prime, but I was going out and didn’t have time to faff around looking for it again. Thanks for posting the correct link.
I don’t know if this helps. It’s a Firefox extension, which also shows the Discourse logo:
