Making personal website have it's own "icon"
In Firefox (and other browsers), many websites (TFP included) have a custom icon that is displayed next to the URL in the address bar, as well as on the quick link bar below it. How do I assign an icon like this to my own personal website?

Sweet. Even I used that in less than 5 minutes after reading this!
There was a little detail I never paid attention to that was straight-forward and easy.

Ok, that worked for the address bar, but not for the quick links part under it. I'll keep futzing around with it.

You have to click on it again, when the browser fully loads the page it will show the link with the icon in front of it.
If you're still having trouble, even with that, then you could try removing and re-adding the link, then visiting the page. That should do the trick.

Wait, now I got it. I erased the quick link. Made a new quick link. Then visited the site via the quick link. Now I just need to fix my icon so the background is clear instead of white...

It doesn't even have to be an ICO file if you use the following LINK tag:
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> If you must have it in ICO format and your paint program doesn't have an ICO export ("Save As...") filter, here's an online PNG-to-ICO converter: http://www.degraeve.com/favicon/ |
