FAQ- My favicon won't work in internet explorer Read First!
I have a problem with my favicon. I created it using Favicon.cc. it is an animated favicon, and it works absolutely perfect in Mozilla Firefox. In Internet Explorer, though, it just shows up as the default Favicon. I love Firefox, and really wouldn't mind, but everyone I know uses IE.

You might need to clear your browser cache in IE. If it's working in Firefox, it should work in IE.
We can't debug favicon issues, however. if you made it using a favicon generator, uploaded it to your main folder in your file manager, and named it with a .ico extension, that's about it. It should work. -

I deleted all browsing history except for saved passwords, and it still doesn't work.
-
If you post your site's url, I can look at it in IE and tell you what I see.

I did a search and found out that IE does not support animated favicons. You can read more here:

Hope this helps! -

You're welcome! It's too bad it doesn't display in iE, because the animated bomb exploding is pretty cool!

Last night it was OK... this morning my favicon had changed from the red/white square that is the logo for oka4wd.com, to a red circle with 'cnet' on it! Hacked? This is in IE and it's not animated.
So I went (in IE) to File Manager to see what had happened, but couldn't open the favicon file it to edit it. Blame IE, open Firefox and... the favicon is normal red/white square in MF.
What the ??? -

I've had that happen before too. You're not hacked--your browser will sometimes pick up the favicon of other sites you've visited. Try clearing your cache and cookies and see if it fixes your problem.

Yes, thankyou, and now it's back to normal for me too.
I could come to hate computers.-
Glad it's working again :)

Mine doesn't work, and I've tested it from multiple computers.
Can you check if you can see it in IE?
