Favicon Problem

[Randomishlying]

For reasons unknown to me, I've been unable to get my my favicon to appear in my firefox browser. There seems to be no problems in any other browser I've tried. I had someone else try it on there version of Firefox, and it seems to display fine. At this point, I sense that the problem is with my version of Firefox or something related to that. Perhaps there is something more I need to provide in the link attribute within the head. This is exactly what it says:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />

If anyone has any information that might point my in the direction of solving this problem, I would thankful to hear it. Cheers

Some browsers just use rel="icon" rather than "shortcut icon". Maybe that will make it work.

I'm pretty sure that for favicons you need to use absolute URLs rather than relative (eg. http://www...). I doubt that changing 'shortcut icon' to 'icon' will work.

Try switching the posistion of your type and href in your tag. Is your favicon 16x16px?

put the favicon tag in all pages that's what i did and it worked for me '~'
