Right!
I couldn't leave this thing alone; it was bugging the hell out of me.

So I thought, can I add the favicon myself?

I had a look at the add-ons for Firefox and there is one to add your own favicons - 'Favicon Picker 3' So I've just downloaded it and now you can right click on the bookmark and you can browse to any icon on your computer.
So I added one of my favicons and hey!, now I had my own personal favicon in the bookmarks list; in the address bar; and in the tab! Woohoo!

However that is not the end of the story. I noticed that the add-on had an options button, so I pressed it and got this:-

Well I unticked the box and my favicon was suddenly replaced by the official t bar favicon!

Not only that, but as I had cleared my cache I had lost all my previously stored favicons, and they hadn't reappeared.:shake:

Now, almost every site I visit is leaving favicons!!
I know I'm easily pleased but:-

No!
But I did know a few words in Greek in the dim & distant past. (ie: 'Orkhis Kuon'. Sorry, pitiful 3rd form joke.
My God! We knew everything. We could have ruled the world then. Unfortunately, some of them do now.)
How do I find these 'tabs' ???
Bit dim when it comes to this sort of thing. I mainly use computer for reports, surveys and calcs.,CAD, legislation & business communication. You know, the usual technical stuff.
I do know that there ain't nuffin nowhere what looks anyfink like a favicon or any ovver sort o' con.

If you look at the image David posted



the red circle shows the favicon on the address bar.

Below that (Just below the "most visited") is a single tab.

Apart from being quite a good film about stealing an advanced russian fighter plane, what is 'Firefox'????

Ah! I can see the icon on my desktop. No idea what it is for though.

Firefox is just the name of an internet browser like "Internet Explorer" but it's better. :yesnod:

I've not tried Google chrome so I guess it could be good... anything is better than Internet Explorer! See this short explanation as to why: http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/special-top-ten-reasons-to-switch-to-firefox-126313.php ...and Internet Explorer has something ridiculous like 13 more security vulnerabilities that FF.
