Description
Describe the bug
When viewing the current tabs in the Vomnibar in Firefox, favicons don't show up next to the entries.
Behaviour in Firefox:

Expected behaviour (Chrome):

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open any page in Firefox
- Press Shift-T to open the list of current tabs in the Vomnibar.
- The favicon for that tab doesn't appear next to its Vomnibar entry.
This also occurs with other Vomnibar shortcuts (shift-O, shift-B...). Tried on a clean Firefox install with no tweaks to settings or additional addons, no difference.
Browser and Vimium version
Browser: Firefox 80.0.1
OS: Linux 5.4.0-48-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS)
