[WEB4LIB] favicon in Personal Toolbar Folder

[Stewart Fritz]

Kevin-

Favicons, while very very cool, aren't a standard and almost every browser
implements them differently. Firefox in particular seems to have a lot of
problems with favicons (for example, if Firefox crashes I tend to lose most
of my favicons). Also. as far as I can tell, Firefox doesn't support
favicons in the personal toolbar even though it DOES support them in the
bookmarks menu.
