I want to show logo on the address bar. But it is visible only on tab next to title.

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.mydomain.info/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />      
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mydomain.info/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    What browser? Chrome does not show the favicon in the addressbar. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7864813/why-doesnt-the-favicon-file-show-in-the-address-bar-of-google-chrome – Emond Aug 27 '13 at 06:46
  • Your format seems to be correct already – Hanky Panky Aug 27 '13 at 06:47
  • I think the same thing is true for Firefox. – Luka Aug 27 '13 at 06:47

  • Neither does Mozilla, earlier they used to. Now it is being used to show that lock symbol for security and trustworthiness. – dharam Aug 27 '13 at 06:47
  • HTML Or CSS cannot do anything here, it's the browser built in that way.. – Mr. Alien Aug 27 '13 at 06:49

Short answer: yes. That's how many browsers work.

Firefox: http://msujaws.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/an-update-to-site-identity-in-desktop-firefox/

Chrome: why doesn't the favicon file show in the address bar of google chrome? and http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/kUQOKVUwUmw

In the wikipedia page, you can find some more about browser support. In short, Firefox and Chrome don't do it, Explorer, Safari and Opera do.

It is up to the browser to decide where/whether to display a favicon.

Chrome reserved the addressbar for the address and an indication of the protocol.

There is not much you can do about it.
