        That's the one.

        I just redid my machine, and it wasn't coming up.

        It comes up in Firefox (latest), but not IE6 or Opera (latest O9 beta).

        Still like that - VERY weird. Nothing else running on the machine, either. *shrug*

          I can't comment on Opera as i've not used it for a couple of years.

          That being said, I've never had the "Browser Icon" when using Internet Explorer, Only when using Firefox.

          Are you sure you aren't just thinking it used to be there in IE etc?

            It is there in Opera 8.51, not in 9 preview 2. There is no setting in opera:about to do anything about it. Other sites' favicons show up properly, but I remember older versions of Opera not showing some favicons. Opera 8.51 has a dropdown where you can choose "Page Icons: Embedded Icons and Favicons", "Embedded Icons Only", or "No Icons". This is missing in 9p2 (it's a preview, after all, which is less than a Beta for Opera), so I guess Opera 9p2 doesn't do Favicons linked to from .htaccess, only icons linked to via . Since MURC doesn't use the latter method, I assume we use the former.

            There was a security fix regarding Favicons in 8.52, but since I haven't upraded yet I don't know if this has any side effects.

            EDIT: Seems to be a known bug in the previews, and my speculations above seem to be false. Why it doesn't work in IE, I don't know.

              The generally accepted method for a browser or other to check for a favicon is to simply look for the 'favicon.ico' file in the root directory.

                Shouldn't the favicon be referenced in .htaccess?

                  No. If the icon is in the root directory or, in cases, the directory of the current page, that is all that is required. If the icon is not in one of these places then a web page would require a direct link to the icon file.

                    IE only seems to check for the favicon on adding a page to your favourites, from that point on it will show next to the url. If you import your old favourites IE doesn't recheck on the first visit to the page so it never shows.
