Question

My fav icon in address bar does not showing in Chrome and Firefox. But it shows in Internet Explorer. It is showing in title bar, but not in address bar. I want to make it visible in address bar also for all major browsers.

Visit http:// url-to-your-site.com/favicon.ico

You should now see your favicon now both in the address bar and on the screen, if you get a 404 then you've uploaded it to the wrong location.

Chrome and Firefox cashe favicons, and for some reson shift+f5 doesn't seem to work. You'll see your favicon if you visit your site in an incognito window too (Ctrl+shift+n) in Chrome
