Description
The favicon for a page doesn't appear to be loaded (or even requested) if the apple-touch-icon has the same URL.
I have put the affected version and platforms to what I was able to test but if whoever picks this ticket up could check against dev I didn't test against that because of limited ram.
I have seen that the favicon isn't even requested by looking in the web inspector and by running a local server and watching for requests.
Here is a test case:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="icon" href="https://www.qt.io/hubfs/2016_Qt_Logo/qt_logo_green_rgb_16x16.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="https://www.qt.io/hubfs/2016_Qt_Logo/qt_logo_green_rgb_16x16.png"/>
<title>No Icon Test</title>
</head>
</html>
<body>
<p>No Icon Test</p>
</body>
I have checked that it is the same URL by using a symlink locally and pointing the two links to different links of the same file (does load) and having one be http://localhost:1234/favicon.ico and the other /favicon.ico (doesn't load).
Changing the favicon link to be rel="shortcut icon" and/or adding type="x-icon" doesn't help.
Chrome and QtWebkit seem to support this situation just fine and a brief web search doesn't indicate that it is an unsupported configuration (except those two icons are supposed to be different sizes).
A user of qutebrowser saw this in the wild on bandcamp.com.
