I created favicon.ico file and declared it in my HTML head tag:
<link type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" rel="icon" />
<link type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />
IE 8 and Opera handle it great but FireFox does not even try to load it (as I see from my Fiddler debug proxy). I've tried many different type (image/ico etc.) and href params but no luck.
What did I miss?

The quickest and most efficient solution that will resolve the issue in most cases is to simply navigate to the AppData folder of Firefox, find your profile folder and delete the file name favicons. sqlite while Firefox is closed. This process will force Firefox to create a new favicon .

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.
This will immediately update the favicon.
