Description
Currently we load favicons by computing the favicon URL from the library URL. The consequences is 1/ that the favicon is the library domain's favicon, not the tab's favicon, and 2/ that we request the favicon when the user loads a profile.
Different ways to do this:
* stop displaying icons altogether
* replace the favicons by an icon showing where the frame comes from (eg: gecko / web content / js / native)
* fetch the favicons from the addon and put them in the profile
* fetch the tab's icons from the addon and put them in the profile
