I keep wondering when people on this thread will discuss the relative merits 
of various rope materials? That is the "real definition" isn't it? ;)

On a more serious note, I agree with the question; it doesn't sound like a 
full cross site request forgery. Still Coderman's reply to your questions 
lead me to search for information on the Firefox "browser.chrome.favicons." 
That lead to this bit of information:

"Caveats

"    * browser.chrome.site_icons must be true for this preference to have an 
effect.
"    * Conversely, browser.chrome.site_icons should be false when this 
preference is false to disable site icons and favicons completely."

Given Coderman's statement about meeting "fortuitously in a black hat tryst," 
I set both to false. Thanks all for the info.

And for those people, like myself, who aren't up on all the acronymns, here is 
a link for CRSF:
