favicon and the name of the website not showing...

Created favicon (gif file 16x16), uploaded it to the root directory of the website - it's not showing in both my browswers (FF and Safari)

Also, can't find the ways to stupid issue - how to change the name of the website on the tab! It still shows "Zen Cart..." though I did change the name of the website in the admin configuration...

Any ideas, please!

Regarding your favicon, try closing your instances of FF and Safari and see if they show it then. Make a copy of /includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php in the directory /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/. The first two defines are the store name (TITLE) and tagline (SITE_TAGLINE) that display in the browsers' title bar.
