Disable downloading of Favicons in response to Favicon fingerprinting technique

[IL2P]

Suggest:

user.js add

// PREF: Disable downloading of Favicons in response to Favicon fingerprinting techniques
user_pref("browser.chrome.site_icons",			false);

See https://github.com/jonasstrehle/supercookie

Tested via https://supercookie.me/ and this change seems to prevent this fingerprinting method.

https://supercookie.me/ test goes in an infinite loop and never provide an ID result.

My current bookmarked Favicons are still there but new ones are not added.

Thanks!

If this is enabled, is there any alternative way to manually download "safe" favicons? Don't really like the idea of a bunch of ugly default icons for every webpage
