    That could just be your browser cache doing that. You could empty your browser cache and then load the site.

    Remove the old favicon from your root directory, either delete it or move it to some other folder.

    Then call your favicon via your browser in the form of domain.com/favicon.ico

    This is working fine in IE. Firefox pulls up a download window if you try to access the favicon via URL.

    Clearing cache and temp files does not usually help, at least not on my end..

    Add this (below) to your code above the closing </head> tag it should then bring up the favicon - remember to remove the old one first.

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" >
