Firefox won't show change in favicon images

Post by pizzipie »

Hi,

I am Using Ubuntu 9.10, Firefox 3.6.8. In the code shown below when I change the 'favicon\ico' link from images/favicon.ico(shows little fish) to show
the 'images/mybank.ico' the browser will not recognize the change and show the new image. I can show 'images/mybank.ico' fine within the <img tag below.

I save the file, I refresh the page, I stop firefox and start it again and it will not change. I did notice, however, that the original favicon which shows up just ahead of the <title 'Practice Boxes' does flicker on the first or second tries to refresh.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance, RP

Clear the browser cache. That should do it.
