I can see favicon in Firefox. Try reloading that page while you are viewing it by using F5. Or clear the cache.

Generally it is better to have the favicon.ico image in the root directory rather than having that image in a folder, such as the /photos/ folder where you have it. Many web browsers look for it there and will display it, even without having a Meta tag.

Root directory, as in '/'? Or did you mean the home directory "~/"? Or did you mean the directory where the app is?

My problem is that I installed Lion and all my Firefox bookmark favicons no longer exist. The tabs show a favicon, but not the bookmarks. Safari shows favicons.

In the enclosed image, Comcast, Google, Wikipedia, basically all that don't have the square (or folder) at the front should have a favicon.

When I edit the Firefox bookmarks the favicons appear, but why not in the menu pull-down?

Off topic for this thread, which was about website development.

Do the favicons appear after each bookmark is used the first time?

Which version of Firefox? If not Firefox 10.0.2, update to that version which has a fix for favicons not showing.

Sorry if it's off-topic... it was the only place I found anything talking about Firefox favicons and when I followed the link I didn't see anything about website development. Is there a better place? Maybe general, or UI?

Favicons don't appear after using the bookmark, and they don't even appear if I "Bookmark This Page". It comes out with a null (not even the empty box).

F5 does nothing for favicons it just reloads the page.

Do you see that favicon in Tools > Page Info > Media?

Tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to bring up the menu bar temporarily.

I don't see any favicon in Tools > Page Info > Media.

At what point should I be looking at Tools > Page Info > Media?

When would you like me to use the F10 key (which normally on my Mac mutes the audio, but Fn F10 does something with expose or some operation I don't normally use.

It's the bookmarks' favicons that don't show... not one of them. Not even the one for https://support.mozilla.org... (the one for this page - not that I know there is one).

If you open a page in a tab then Firefox loads all content from the server or the cache and that includes the website's favicon.

cor-el, I found https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkplaces/

Something you suggested to someone else. That solved the problem. I'm going back there now and donating! It's weird that something so simple is used: icons in bookmarks. I would like to know why they weren't there. Maybe I'll ask the author of the addon.

The tab appears with the favicon, but not the bookmark. See my earlier post (which may appear after this post, I'm not sure if they appear chronologically or with respect to a post I'm replying to. (And no, although that IS ending a sentence with a preposition, it IS allowed in the English language, but not in Latin and possibly other Latin-related languages.) (English is a Germanic based language, not Latin based.)
