1. Install FF.
2. Make sure you have some saved bookmarks.
3. Open share menu (either with hamburger menu or with context menu )on shortcuts, bookmarks, pocket articles, jump back in links etc.
4. Observe the favicons.

Hi @DianaABarladeanu could we also check the following

• Is it only that favicons are slow to load or the share sheet itself is slow to load Below are some steps for share sheet loading check for menu + long press

menu

• Install Firefox iOS latest version
• Open a few websites, go to theverge.com
• Tap on the 3 hamburger menu and try to share the article
• Accepted Criteria: It shows share sheet

long press

• Install Firefox iOS latest version

• long press on the pocket links

• Tap on share

• Accepted Criteria: It shows share sheet

• perform both a few times

It has come to my attention that favicons delay might cause delay in share sheet loading so want to ensure its working as intended for both current app version in production and also in Nightly

Thanks!

We didn't notice a delay in loading the share sheet, it seems to function as before the favicon refactor.
