    Favicon does not work with Firefox

    The favicon.ico here on vbulletin.com does not work correcltly with Firefox bookmarks.

    To duplicate the problem delete any bookmark for vbulletin.com then create a new bookmark:

    Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page

    Notice how the favicon does not show up.

    The problem is with the favicon itself, there are duplicate resolutions. The favicon.ico at vbulletin.org works correctly, perhaps that one could be uploaded here to fix this problem.

    The favicon.ico in use here is the same as the one you have in your 3.6 downloads. Do you find that one to be corrupted?

      I have made a new user on my system, installed firefox 2 and loaded vbulletin.com - and bookmarked it. It shows in the location bar, in the rss feed and in the bookmark. I can't reproduce this.

      Mac OS X 10.4.7 with FireFox 2.0 nightly build.

          Yes, I have the same problem with both this forum and my own using the default vB 3.6.0 favicon.

          Windows XP Home SP2 with FF 1.5.0.6

            Correct Freddie, it is corrupted too. The problem is with duplicate resolutions. If you use a program like IconEdit32 to edit the favicon it display an error message indicating the duplicate resolutions.

              Must be an issue with Firefox and Windows XP then.

                      Don't forget, once you changed the icon you need to clean your browser cache.... When done, it works just fine :

                      I'm not under the alkafluence of inkahol like some thinkle peep I am!

                        Please note this thread is about the defective favicon located here on vbulletin.com, it has nothing to do with the custom favicon's people use on their own forums.

                            The favicon for vbulletin.com works fine on my pc running firefox

                            Haha, slightly off topic, I have been fighting with the favicon on another forum which stubbornly refused to change no matter how many times I uploaded it - Your query about clearing the browser cache worked a treat...You have no idea how many hours I have spent struggling with this!!!

                            Cheers

                              The favicon works for us too in all places except the bookmarks. Please verify that the favicon is displayed next to your bookmark.
