why doesn't favicon.ico load unless www is in web address
I have my favicon.ico at the root of my directory and html code pointing it out and still can't get it to work if I enter the address without the www in front of it.(as I have performed this operation before, I know I have the ico file correct and the html code. I don't have any problems in other browsers. Is there some new special html code I am unaware of? I think it has something to do with firefox doesn't auto fill http/www. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Try removing that HTML code for favicon.ico. As long as the favicon,ico file is in the root directory modern browsers should be able to find it with a "pointer" to it.

Maybe there is a new "same origin" requirement for .ico files? Are you using a relative path to ensure that the host names match?

I thought I tried it with no code because it should work. I'll try again to make sure. Thanks for the reply! I'll put an update post when I've tried it.
Can you post a link to a public page that doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?
Well I feel a little special. I tried it again and wahlaa. I guess I didn't clear the cache properly. Thank you very much!
