I placed my favicon here:
http://www.vittoriosastarsnursery.com/favicon.ico
But for some reason it doesn't want to show in Firefox. It did work in IE, but I'm more concerned about getting it working in Firefox.
I can see it in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. My friend had a problem like this when we were testing back in college. It was just a weird caching thing that made her think it wasn't working right. I'm sure that everyone besides you will be able to see that it works fine. You could always try restarting your browser after clearing the cache and see if that helps.
Suddenly I found answer here
You should add "?" to your favicon path and it works! Even with path such as images/favicon.ico. Just try:
<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon.ico?" type="image/x-icon">
Other browsers works too.
Remember to restart mozilla, because of it's own cache, that is not connected with css and other caching.
updated:
Another way is set redirect from favicon.ico to /images/favicon.ico (301 works)
Two things to consider
- If it's working in some browsers and not in others it's likely going to be a cache issue. Clear your cache and refresh, or for more in depth info: How do I force a favicon refresh
- If favicon.ico is in the project's root folder but not being recognized by any browsers I would check out the .htaccess, or whatever equivalent of .htaccess depending on server type etc.
<link rel="icon" href="http://khachmeruk.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://khachmeruk.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
For those who suffer from this problem, try move your favicon file to home directory. It worked for me and solved my problem.
If you don't want to spend hours. trying to figure out why your favicon is not showing up, make sure to always place it in the root of your project folder and add a link in the <head></head> section of your page like so:
<head>
//other code
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
//other code
</head>
Folder Structure
--app
-----img
-----js
-----css
-----favicon.ico
It works for me in FireFox. When running identify (part of the ImageMagick package), it reports this problem:
identify: invalid colormap index 'favicon.ico' @ error/image.c/SyncImage/3906
Perhaps opening the file in a graphics editor and re-saving it would clean up this error.
I had this problem too. it turns out (for me at least) that blocking users / agents with no referrer via .htaccess caused the problem.
It is just a caching issue. Just change the file name and it will show up immediately... otherwise do nothing and it will show up eventually. Browsers are just very persistent with the favicon caching.
For those who have tried everything and the favicon still does not show up:
- Put it in your sites Root Directory
- Rename it "favicon.ico"
Make sure your code is like such:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico"/>IF you still have the same problem, put the whole website in ANOTHER DIRECTORY, like a Memory Stick (that fixed it for me :) ).
REMEMBER: You HAVE to put the icon code in the of EVERY page. :)
