Click 'Manage' next to 'Favicon'. Click 'Upload Image', and select an existing image or click on 'Upload Media' to upload an image from your computer. Click 'Add to Page'. You'll now see a preview of what your favicon would look like on your browser tab.
The icon shown on the address bar for some websites is known as the favicon.
There are several possible reasons why your images are not showing up on your pages as expected: The image file is not located in the same location that is specified in your IMG tag. The image does not have the same file name as specified in your IMG tag. The image file is corrupt or damaged.
You need a favicon - this is a 16x16 image in .ico format stored as favicon.ico in the root directory your site. Some browsers do support other formats too.
A newer, more standards based approach is to include something like this in your html head:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/path/image.png"/>
