I had the same problem in IE. In my case it was because the favicon.ico actually had a image/png content-type and not image/x-icon. Even when I created it with icon editors.

After converting a regular png file with http://www.convertico.com/ it worked.

Keep in mind though that IE caches this very strict. You might need to restart your browser and/or clear cache to see it.

    Just an addition - instead of clearing the cache you can also rename the favicon file, or maybe even set the `href` value to `favicon.ico?nocache` :) – Nikola Ivanov Nikolov Dec 06 '12 at 16:01
