Comment:

 So, there are two things here: 1) Downloading the favicon twice. I'd guess
 this is an underlying Mozilla problem:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583351. 2) Downloading the
 favicon over a different circuit. I can observe 1), too, on some websites
 but it seems all those second requests go over the same circuit. Is 2)
 reproducible for you? If so, do you have an example site allowing us to
 debug the Tor Browser behavior?
