Title:
  [browser] favicons are not persistently cached on disk

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Triaged
Status in Web Browser App:
  In Progress
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Since version 0.23+14.10.20140709-0ubuntu1 of webbrowser-app, favicon
  support was re-introduced (it had been initially removed when
  switching to oxide). As of that version, the bookmarks list on the new
  tab page displays favicons. However the favicons are not cached on
  disk, all we store is a reference to their URL (e.g.
  http://assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/latest/u/img/favicon.ico). Once
  the icons have been fetched by the QML engine, they will be cached in
  memory during the lifetime of the application, but if the application
  is killed and restarted, the icons will be fetched from the network
  again, potentially incurring a cost on the data connection.

  Favicons should be cached on disk to avoid re-downloading them every
  time the app is launched.
