Favicon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Mozilla Firefox, favicons are displayed in all available tabs, the bookmark toolbar/menu and the location bar.
In Internet Explorer 6, favicons are displayed in the Favorites menu and the address bar.
In Safari, favicons are displayed in the URL field, Bookmarks menu and the Bookmarks window.
A favicon (short for "favorites icon"), also known as a page icon, is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon, and many graphical web browsers—such as recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, iCab, AOL Explorer, Epiphany, Konqueror, and Flock—can then make use of them. Browsers that support favicons may display them in the browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks, and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface.
