I seem to recall there being an attack where someone can manipulate XUL
into disclosing if a favicon existed in cache and the age of image in
cache to determine your history.
In general, for a tor browser bundle that is not supposed to leave a
trace, having a favicon cache could be bad. It would confirm that you
did indeed visit a certain site. If this certain site is forbidden in
your locale, the evidence could be used against you.
