I have seen this on a lots of websites e-g: Even here:
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
When you load all the resources for this page under Net Panel in firebug and check the images tab, it shows all the images on the page but the favicon doesnt show up. Why?
Should I be looking for it somewhere else in firebug.

When you add a favicon to your site, it may not show up since your browser has 'saved' your site as one without a favicon. You need to clear the cache in your browser or use a different browser.
The favicon URL must be stable (don't change the URL frequently). Google won't show any favicon that it deems inappropriate, including pornography or hate symbols (for example, swastikas). If this type of imagery is discovered within a favicon, Google replaces it with a default icon.
The first answer to this thread, by Jan Odvarko (who is a contributor to Firebug), seems to explain why the favicon is not displayed in Firebug's net tab (quoting):
The problem is that the network request for favicon isn't associated with the page where the icon is displayed.
So, Firebug (i.e. Net panel) don't know that it belongs to the page and skips the request
