How to display the logo on the address bar?

Question

I want to show logo on the address bar. But it is visible only on tab next to title.

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.mydomain.info/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />      
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mydomain.info/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> 

Answer 1

Short answer: yes. That's how many browsers work.

Firefox: http://msujaws.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/an-update-to-site-identity-in-desktop-firefox/

Chrome: why doesn't the favicon file show in the address bar of google chrome? and http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/kUQOKVUwUmw

In the wikipedia page, you can find some more about browser support. In short, Firefox and Chrome don't do it, Explorer, Safari and Opera do.

Answer 2

It is up to the browser to decide where/whether to display a favicon.

Chrome reserved the addressbar for the address and an indication of the protocol.

There is not much you can do about it.
