How to set homepage favicon for my site?

The bookmark and tabs show my favicon but the firefox empty landing page does not show my favicon. Instead it shows a generated icon...

What do I need to do to make favicon show?

I have this in my head

``` <link rel="icon" href="/static/favicon.png" /> <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="128x128" href="/static/favicon.png" /> <link rel="manifest" href="/static/manifest.json" crossorigin="use-credentials" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="https://fuckedweb3.com/static/favicon.png" /> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/static/favicon.png" /> <link rel="image/x-icon" size="32x32" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> ```

What do you mean by "the firefox empty landing page"?

If you mean the Shortcuts section of the built-in Firefox Home page (about:home or about:newtab):

Firefox prefers a 256x256 icon for the shortcut icon. Example:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="256x256" href="https://www.userchrome.org/img/Fxcss_256.png">

I think it might help to list that one last.

That said, I often see Firefox show a pixelated version of the classic small icon on a white box, so that shouldn't really be necessary.
