trust me i have been at this a long time. do not use any of the things above you have already tried.\n\nsimply upload your favicon.ico file to your main directory (where your index.html file is) and you are done. the browser will load it in with you having to add anything to your pages.\n\nbut the favicon will only appear next to the url in the address bar when you click on a favorite that has that favicon next to it.\n\nthe favicon does not appear in the address box all the time.

Sounds like you've got some CSS code that IE doesn't like.\nthough with out having something to look at the only suggestion I can tell you would be to Google for the CSS differences between IE and FireFox.

That was happening to me.  Try using Firefox instead.  It's better anyway although (lol) I'm on my new computer using IE.  :)

Do you have it locked?\n\nOn your Internet Explorer screen, go to View, Toolbars, Lock The Toolbars (make sure it has a check mark beside it).

As you have noticed from your problem, IE and FireFox have implemented the CSS specification differently.\n\nUnfortunately, I'd have to take a look at your code to help fix the problem.\n\nCan you provide a link to the page?

I didint use YSB sorry but ill explain for normal way if you can do it manually :)\n\n* First you need a image which has to be .ico extension and than you need to call it favicon.ico \n* If you have an image you can use a generator for have one \ntry here http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/\n\nif you have it now put that in your site root ( where your index.html is\n\n* Open your index.html\nadd this line somewhere between your head tags\n<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"  type="image/x-icon"/>\n\nit should be look like this \n\n<head>\n<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"  type="image/x-icon"/>\n</head>\n\nupload your files and refresh your browser \nif you cant see your favicon just emty your browser cache

Sure.\n\nType "about:config" in your address bar..\n\ntype "browser.chrome.favicons" and press enter to filter your results\n\nNow switch browser.chrome.favicons to "false" by double clicking.\n\nNow to test this, open a new tab with Ctrl-T and type "www.yahoo.com", press enter.  You should no longer see favicons when you load webpages.

A favicon (short for "Favorites icon"), also known as a page icon, is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create a 16 x 16 pixel or larger image and by adding 2 link elements in the <head> section of the document that image appears as a favicon.\n\nI guess what you're asking is how you the user of a website can change the favicon that the web designer has chosen. Hopefully you use Firefox as your web browser. If so, then you can install an extension called Favicon Picker that lets you change your bookmark favicons to whatver you want.

This usually means it's the website and not you.\nTry going to 'Tools', then 'Internet Options' in Internet explorer.\nThen clicking the 'Advanced' tab, scrolling down to 'Multimedia', and ticking the box that says 'Show Pictures' - 'Apply' & 'OK'.\nIf this doesn't work then it's the site you're on that isn't working properly.

I can't be certain, but I believe it falls under the start button at your control panel. There is a section there that allows you to make your icons act like internet links, one click and two click. I'll look and see if I can find it for you.

it's a security thing. The favicon works if the website is in favourites.
