    You need a favicon.ico in your main root. Firefox and perhaps IE look automatically for a favicon.ico in your main folder.

    Use this to create one from an image. :)

    Best way to create one is to just go to a site that makes them for you. Just type in "favicon generator" in Google and most of those will do a fine job.
