and comes up normally for me in 10.0.1
titantv - http://www.titantv.com/favicon.ico works normally.
ccmg.com does not show a favicon in Firefox, Chromium, or Opera for me.
There is no code to call it, and the standard favicon file names do not
exist in the root directory. (Browsers look for the default name if the
code doesn't specify one.)
xda-developers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/favicon.ico works.
eldergadget's favicon is, according to the page's code at:
http://www.elder-friendly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/favicon2.png
but is missing from that location. But,
http://www.eldergadget.com/favicon.ico gives the result of: "The image
"http://www.elgergadget.com/favicon.ico cannot be displayed because it
contains errors." and Page Info says it contains 0 bytes.
Of the five, I see three that work, and two with errors at the site. I
don't see a *Firefox* problem.

Can't be what Cy was referring to; that's a problem at GG, and I get the

Yep, that is it. I didn't Google "Chrome Support Forum", then click on
the first link, get a 404 error Not Found. Then opened Chrome, copied
the link from the Firefox search results, pasted, hit Enter, and the
Google Support Page opened right up.
It does work in Firefox now though, as I mentioned in a prior post. Must
have been a glitch on the server.
Must have been a dream.

These three pages all show a tab icon in my Firefox 10.0.1.
The icon appears when the page finishes loading, not earlier.
https://www.ccmg.com/
In both Firefox and Chrome, I see the browser's own generic tab icon for web pages which do not have their own icon.
(The dotted square is Firefox's generic tab icon for web pages which do not have their own icon.)
I checked the HTML and the website, and there is no icon to be fetched.
1) The page's HTML code does not specify a _page_ icon.
2) The website does not have a _site_ icon (which would have been at <https://www.ccmg.com/favicon.ico>)

(The dotted square is Firefox's generic tab icon for web pages which do not have their own icon.)
I checked the HTML and the website, and there is no valid icon to be fetched.
1) The page's HTML code specifies a _page_ icon at http://www.eldergadget.com/wp-content/themes/thesis/favicon.ico
However, this link is broken -- the page icon cannot be fetched.
2) The website's _site_ icon is corrupt -- it is zero bytes long and so cannot be displayed.

work. ccmg and eldergadget do not -- in all my browsers, and I explained
why. And Ralph nearly copied my post a few minutes ago.
They are called "favicons."

In Chrome and Opera, I see favicons for wunderground, titantv and
xda-developers, but do not see them in FF.
Hope that's clear.

Does anyone know where FF’s default tab favicon file is located?

matter what tool bar they are on or if they are by themselves or inside

I think I figured it out. In older versions of FF, if a site did not
have it's own icon, there was a little, orange "folder symbol" like
Windows uses for it's generic folder icon. The new version of FF uses
the dotted box.
Chrome uses a gray "Earth" symbol when there isn't a web site generated
icon.
I think this is all probably a tempest in a teapot.

know, but Wunderground does have the icon on my FF. The ones I see the
little dotted box for are the ones that used to have a "file folder"
icon. AAMOF, if I look at my imported bookmarks from FF to Chrome that
were imported while I was still on FF3.???, they retained the "file
folder" icon.

I used computer janitor a while ago (big whoops) and lost a boatload of
icons. I don't consider this a major problem but it would be nice to
know why they don't come back - I'm thinking a permissions issue but I

funny, I was just going to post a question - was looking for omni.jar
and bumped into omni.ja along with omni.jar.
anyway, I'm thinking the janitor tool wiped out some cache, unlikely a
FF error. I was thinking of site icons, not favicons.

that show up in my bookmarks are pricewatch and gas buddy. I changed
b.c.f to true, but it made no difference. Moreover, something changes
it to 'false' when I restart.
FF 7.0.1/linux with the 'Aeon Clouds' theme and a mess of extensions.The
only extensions with 'tab' in their names are Tab Mix Plus and Tree
Style Tabs, neither of which seems to have a favicon option. The
thingies where the favicons should be are round and red with a sort of
slash through them, but not a full 'forbidden' symbol.
I'll do the disable-half-and-restart thing when I have a more important
problem, I just never thought about the favicons until this thread.
One of these days I'm going to upgrade to 10.0.1, but not today :-(

Am I wrong in thinking that major changes happen only in the 9.0, 10.0,
11.0 updates and the intereim updates are really minor? I used to do
automatic updates until things started breaking.

IT WORKED!
So easy, thanks!
I think when I downloaded a program a few days ago that also wanted me to download Chrome and I declined Chrome, the stupid installer chnaged things around anyway without actually installing Chrome....thus my tab icons disapearing. Weird.
