Where does Firefox highlights get its images from?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Overall, I like the new Firefox "highlights" feature of the New Tab Page. For most pages that appear there, the first image on the page or a high-res favicon becomes the image on the highlights badge. But for a few websites, this is not the case.
I took this screenshot after browsing to
http://biotropica.org/photos-from-the-field_pegueroespelta/ and- https://www.uidaho.edu/engr/departments/cme/our-people/faculty/james-moberly.aspx
Neither page contains the image shown on the badge. I've also checked the network tab in developer tools, and these images don't appear as requests there, either.
