Unity 3D does not pull high-resolution favicons when dragging a URL from Firefox (lacks feature parity)

[Chris Kenyon]

Binary package hint: unity

2D Unity allows a user to drag any page across to the launcher and have it be added as a link to the launcher. The feature also pulls the appropriate icon into the launcher at a higher res than the standard favicons.

The inconsistency between the two versions is a challenge in productisation with OEMs.

This sounds like a bug. Didrocks, can you please take a look?

Chris, we're not going to support bookmarking in the launcher. We'll do
proper web apps. Bookmarks get handled in the browser.
