I placed my favicon here:
http://www.vittoriosastarsnursery.com/favicon.ico
But for some reason it doesn't want to show in Firefox. It did work in IE, but I'm more concerned about getting it working in Firefox.
For the most part it seems like most SEOs said it takes around 24 hours, sometimes less. The guidelines specifically say "Google will look for and update your favicon whenever it crawls your home page.
To add a favicon to your website, either save your favicon image to the root directory of your webserver, or create a folder in the root directory called images, and save your favicon image in this folder. A common name for a favicon image is "favicon.ico".
You will have to delete your cache from your browser, close your browser and reopen it. That should fix it. I don't believe your favicons will get refreshed on your favorites until you revisit that page, and assuming that you had previously cleared your browsers cache.
Resetting the page or clearing the cache on your site or browser may be sufficient to fix the issue. If that doesn't work, try other options. Different graphic formats are used to create a favicon, but some of them are not supported by all browsers and their versions. In this case, it is recommended to use .
Suddenly I found answer here
You should add "?" to your favicon path and it works! Even with path such as images/favicon.ico
. Just try:
<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon.ico?" type="image/x-icon">
Other browsers works too.
Remember to restart mozilla, because of it's own cache, that is not connected with css and other caching.
updated:
Another way is set redirect from favicon.ico
to /images/favicon.ico
(301 works)
I can see it in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. My friend had a problem like this when we were testing back in college. It was just a weird caching thing that made her think it wasn't working right. I'm sure that everyone besides you will be able to see that it works fine.
Try opening the Dev Tools (CMD + Option + i on Mac) and hard refresh the page (hold the refresh button until options appear).
You could always try restarting your browser after clearing the cache and see if that helps.
