Is there a Firefox feature, setting, or add-on that arranges it so that the favicon of the currently open web page becomes the icon of the browser window in Linux/X11? In particular, it ought to show up in the window manager's task bar. Konqueror does that, and I find it very useful, considering that many "applications" are nowadays web pages.

Not a ready answer yet, but might lead in the right direction:

One could use xseticon as pointed out here.

Still open:

  • automatically get the faviocon of actual page
  • store it somewhere
  • use wmctrl to find out the id of the firefox-window
  • call xseticon

One option is using Mozilla Prism firefox extension which allows you to run a webpage in its own dedicated window. It will use the favicon for the browser window icon.
