 As mentioned in ticket:19031#comment:4 Thunderbird fetches at each start
 the icons of each rss channel, to prevent Thunderbird from fetching all
 RSS channel icons at start/simultaneously (as torbirdy prevents TB to
 fetch emails at start) I suggest torbirdy shouldn't fetch them at all.
 (fetching all icons at the same time might identify a user)

 ```browser.chrome.site_icons = false```
