Firefox doesn't show favicon
Like most things in the browser, favicons (or lack thereof) are common candidates for caching.
Try clearing your browser cache.
In Mozilla Firefox, the keyboard shortcut to "Reload (override cache)" is
- Ctrl + F5 OR
- Ctrl + Shift + R
Firefox has separate cache for favicon and this does not work properly. The favicon is not updated easily in firefox. This is a small issue but troubles many of us for long time.
The solution is to clear the favicon cache so that the favicon is update. There are many solutions you can find if you go through the internet or stackoverflow. Most of the solution imvolves deleteing the favicon cache manually or using some plugins. Some saying deleting the file from temp internet files. But there is one really simple and easy way to fix the problem.
- Type in www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico (or www.yoursite.com/apple-touch-icon.png, etc.)
- CTRL + F5 or CTRL + R
This will immediately update the favicon.
