:(Does anyone know how to make favicons show up in Firefox browser? Mine does fine on all pages in IE7 but can't get it to show in Firefox.
Zen Follower
would you be by chance designing your site in IE?
and the link to the site would be nice

I found this on the web;
**What is a Favicon?
** The favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con, shortened form of 'Favorites Icon') is specific to Internet Explorer 5, and the Konqueror web browser. It is used to customise the icon next to your bookmarked web site to be your own customised logo. This is useful because it will remind a visitor about your site, as your link in the favourites will stand out. The favicon is a normal Windows icon file (.ico). It generally measures 16x16 pixels and consists of 16 colours.

I don't think it is a firefox problem...I have favicons. Try clearing your cache, then see if they show.
Totally Zenned
Try re-bookmarking your site.

I have the same issue. https://www.MugAndMallet.com/web/index.php

Shows fine on my 3 shops, Firefox or IE or "what-ever-else". Don't think this is a ZC issue at all
New Zenner
For some reason, some sites need a bit of coding inserted in order for the favicon to show up on every browser. I don't know what it causing it (my first thought is file sizes, actually) - regardless there IS a problem (interesting the number of people who are in denial about the existence of this problem), AND, most importantly, there IS a solution.
It may not be a "zen cart issue" but it IS a zencart file that needs to be added to.
WHERE TO INSERT THE CODE:
index.php in the root directory (usually public_html or www) for your store - at the bottom of the file
It could be with or without the question mark - try it without first and then with it.

Um, NO.
That's A BAD IDEA. One should NEVER touch the contents of the index.php file in the root directory, ESPECIALLY not for the reasons you suggest.
Instead of hacking up core code, why not just use the built-in capability? https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=52
Telling people to hack up core code is a bad idea, since it makes upgrades more difficult down the road, and also makes tech support more complicated, thus doing nobody any favors.

DrByte,
I appreciate your concern. However, this was the only solution that I could find that actually works to have my favicon show up in Firefox.
If you have another idea, I would really appreciate it. It appears most people on this forum are split in two camps - those who have the problem and those who deny the problem exists. Noone has a solution.
I appreciate sending the link to the tutorial, but following those instructions to a T does not display my favicon in Firefox.
Currently it works - but only because of the above specified coding change.
Please advise what different instructions I should follow in order to make the favicons work.
Thank you!

The primary reason why what you suggest is BAD ... is because it creates VERY BAD HTML, and won't validate in any html validators.
So ... to narrow things down a bit, try this:
When you open your site with your browser, and click on the "View" button and choose "View Source", you can see the raw HTML sent to the browser.
Grab a copy of the raw HTML based on the changes you made to the PHP.
And grab a copy of the raw HTML based on just the changes from the tutorial, and without the changes you posted earlier.
Post them here.
How does the HTML render differently?
New Zenner
Note: there is a difference in here due to two banners alternating as pages are refreshed, but for the sake of direct comparison, I'm choosing not to cut that out.
I am very interested in "hearing" your thoughts on the differences, specifically why it wouldn't show up in Firefox.
(Perhaps I should also post the code for IE without the change?)
WITH THE CHANGE:
(I can't claim them as mine, since I found them online)

Right ... see, the first example shows a second set of <head> tags after the <html> section of the page, which is invalid HTML. That's why the method you've used is wrong.
The second example naturally isn't doing anything to specifically mention favicon stuff because you've not told it to do so in the meta_tags.php language file as per the tutorial I mentioned. So, either you didn't do it, or you did it to the wrong file.
Something else is odd too ... Your second example has converted everything to lowercase. I'm not sure where you got it from, but it's definitely odd. It's also got extra line-breaks in it that the first example doesn't have ... again, puzzling. Although neither of these is related to your favicon issue.

I noticed your last point too, but I figured you'd know what it was :) Perhaps it's due to the different banner being displayed???
I had my web developer check re: the metatags and he is pretty sure I used the right file. I will have him double check in the morning though. He also says I should follow what you say, because I don't want to mess up SEO with invalid code either....
So if I left out the head tags, it would be fine? Or what would be another solution, presuming the metatags file I changed was the correct one?

When your developer made the edits, which exact file did he edit? Was it /includes/languages/english/sunflower_orange/meta_tags.php? Or was it something else?
And what are the names of the files in your /includes/templates/sunflower_orange/common/ folder (if it exists, and it might not, which is fine)?

So DrByte, what is you solution? I followed the tutorial, cleared my cache, bookmarked, and re-bookmarked my website. Still, no favicon.
Sensei
Without a URL, all I can suggest is you've done something wrong, or you're using a template that's broken. The tutorial itself is correct.

It took a day and then showed up. Thank you for the help.

Likely a cache issue then.
