My fav icon in address bar does not showing in Chrome and Firefox. But it shows in Internet Explorer. It is showing in title bar, but not in address bar. I want to make it visible in address bar also for all major browsers.

  • Thank you for helping me...I got the solution...Chrome and Firefox recently removed the favicon property from their address bar.for more security they added a default Padlock instead. – vipin Mar 30 '15 at 07:01
  • You don't need that code. Instead just upload your (favicon.ico) to your root directory and it will display on all pages in sub directories and in all browsers :) – Alicia Sykes Mar 30 '15 at 09:22

Visit http:// url-to-your-site.com/favicon.ico

You should now see your favicon now both in the address bar and on the screen, if you get a 404 then you've uploaded it to the wrong location.

Chrome and Firefox cashe favicons, and for some reson shift+f5 doesn't seem to work. You'll see your favicon if you visit your site in an incognito window too (Ctrl+shift+n) in Chrome
