I've only just noticed that, for me, in Firefox, this is missing now for PH, as in it does not load. If I explicitly point the browser at http://www.pistonheads.com/favicon.ico then I can see it. I cannot say when it went missing for me. Is anybody else having this problem?

Why is this a problem? It makes it much harder to find the PH tabs in my list of open tabs. I tend to have many open tabs, and use the drop-down list in FF to manage them. Being able to identify sites by their icon helps to make this a lot faster.

On a quick check this morning, such sites as Wordpress, eBay, Gumtree, Nekochan, Sun, the UK Government, Google, and so on are correctly showing their icons in my browser.

Thanks!

It is a firefox bug rather than PH one, as said above Ctrl+F5 normally fixes it.

If it doesn't then let me know!

In the past I've seen some really wierd behaviour suggesting that IE got confused about which domain the favicons were associated with.
