Comment(by mikeperry):

 Hrmm. I found add.my.yahoo.com and fusion.google.com in ./browser/locales
 /en-US/chrome/browser-region/region.properties.. Do you also see any
 fetches for http://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url= or
 http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=?

 Also, if you remove these urls from browser.contentHandlers.types.0.uri
 and browser.contentHandlers.types.1.uri do the favicon requests stop?
