We should totally use a HD favicon.
Adding the mentor flag--this is a good bug for someone new to work on.

Pretty sure SUMO does this already. If so, then we can copy what they do including the files. Their codebase is at https://github.com/mozilla/kitsune/ .

This is a mentored bug. If you're interested in working on it, comment here or ping willkg in #input on irc.freenode.net.

Hey willkg: idea is not clear what I have to here ?
I think if comment #1 doesn't make any sense, then this probably isn't a bug you can work on, yet. I suggest you do one of a few things:

1. ask someone with a bit more time to help you out here
2. look for another bug that interests you
3. look for another project that has bugs that interest you

Hope that helps! Sorry about this!
Thanks willkg . 

I am looking for another bug that interests me.
Taking this out of the quarter sprint.

Assigning this to lguruprasad as he's working on it now.

I opened input.mozilla.org on my retina Macbook Pro and could verify this issue. There is pixelation of the favicon since we are using a low resolution image. I also tested sumo and could verify that the issue is not there. So we can go ahead and use the favicons used by sumo. Since willkg suggested that instead of linking directly to the support.cdn.mozilla.net images used by sumo, we could have separate copies for fjord, I am waiting for further inputs from willkg.
I'm confused. What're you asking me?
Should I link to the images from the same location (support.cdn.mozilla.net) that sumo is using? If not, what should I do?
Ok--I understand the question now.

We don't want to use the SUMO links for those images since we don't control those links and we don't want the images to disappear if/when they move them. We want to copy the image files and put them in fjord just like we host our other images.
Here is the pull request with the changes - https://github.com/mozilla/fjord/pull/459. I tested the favicon on a retina display and could confirm that the pixelation is gone.
Landed in https://github.com/mozilla/fjord/commit/36eb60b1a5f12d9c2f380a460ef2e33f3f522454

Will push it out next time I do a deployment.
Target Milestone: --- → 2015q1
Pushed to production just now.

Marking as FIXED.
