using history.pushState in Firefox make my favicon disappear

Question

using something like

history.pushState(null, document.title, "?#");

in my site make my favicon disappear in Firefox, But it works in chrome

Is it a javascript/jQuery way to add favicon when the page is loading?

Answer 1

I had similar issue in IE. Whenever I called history.replaceState() favicon disappeared. Favicon was included via link tag like this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/img/resources/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

After I placed favicon.ico to the root folder of my application and removed link, which pointed to it, problem with calling history.replaceState() disappeared. Hope that helps.
