  YES

• Describe the issue you encountered:

I was visiting a webpage:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=133353270

I had my my mouse on the "next" link on the right side of the page (under the search bar), and was trying to click it to move to the next message in the thread. After the webpage finished loading, the content jumps--- so when I clicked "next", the content had shifted up causing me to click on "E*Trade" instead of the Next link.

A new window popped opened up with etrade.. Once I saw I was on E*Trade, I closed the window, as it was not my intention to go there...

A few minutes later, I clicked a different link from a slack channel, and I noticed that the Favicon for that website had somehow become E*Trade's favicon!!!

Thanks for the report, @patrick99e99 😄 This issue is a duplicate of #1646

Since you have better steps, I'll update the original issue and give it a +1 on your behalf 😄

After re-reading, I was mistaken: this appears to be different (but related). Re-opening 😄

Just saw this on 0.18.24. I had 2 pinned tabs (one of which was github.com) and about 25 tabs open. I clicked on the non-pinned tab next to my pinned tabs and started closing the tabs in quick succession (using the x icon on the tab, not cmd+w or right click to close tab). After closing about 12-13 tabs I noticed that my pinned tab was now displaying the wrong favicon:

Reproduced on 0.22.716 - had multiple tab pages open, Opened Preferences, enabled Metamask, after the metamask page opened, I closed it and Preferences got the MetaMask favicon:

This looks similar to #6513 which has been an issue for a while.
