Firefox on Android keeps requesting apple-touch-icon.png #1412
Closed
Description
For a few months (?) I've constantly been getting throttled by rack-attack when using lobste.rs on my phone.
After contacting @pushcx it turns out that I've been requesting /apple-touch-icon.png
and /apple-touch-icon-144.png
over and over in bursts of 5-12 hits.
Apparently I'm not the only one - pushcx is seeing a "staggering numbers of hits, all recent versions of Firefox on Android".
Those URLs aren't linked anywhere on the site, but the latter is mentioned in some Apple documentation.
I'm on Firefox for Android 133.0.3, which seems to be the latest version, and the only installed extension is uBlock Origin.
This might be related to #1325?
