Well I've got the faviocon working in the address bar which is great! But it doesn't appear on the tabbed window bar in firefox like other site's have.

Does anyone know how to make it appear on the tab as well?

Thanks :)

All I do is place 'favicon.ico' in the public_html directory and IE and Firefox (tabs included) show it fine.

It also depends on what theme you use with firefox. Im using japan black and it doesnt have any favicons in the tabs. That may be something else I have set but I think its the theme itself. But if you havent changed themes and other sites favicons show up in the tabs and your doesnt I dont know what to tell you. Sorry

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this already but you can also just include this into your web page in your web pages <head> section

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="your_image" />

I normally use .gif format

i think photoshop is a good tool to make fav icon ...
There are other softwares like mogambo and pixelate
but i think if you know how to use photoshop you would be able to do it ..
