EDIT:Solved, had to restart Firefox twice for some odd reason.
Note: I use firefox on my main computer.
I made a favicon recently for my website, so I put it into the root directory as "favicon.ico" as you would usually do. I refreshed my page, and it didn't work. I cleared my cache, still didn't work. Then I just type in my IP into the address bar, and it worked. I go to my chromebook and type my url, and I get the Freenom logo as a favicon in chrome. I have tried using the <link> tag in my headspace, and that does not work either. Does anybody know what's going on? Since Freenom's favicon is showing, they might have something to do with it.
Ill put the link here, but I'm removing it when my problem is solved.
This site is awesome to use https://realfavicongenerator.net/
It generates all the favicons for all devices out now. This page has a good example

i have been using Neocities to create my website, I've ran into a problem where no matter what i do, my Favicon won't work. It just shows no favicon. i tried it with some other random Favicon from another site and it doesn't work. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that will be helpful.
Tried changing the code, copying code from other sites, following a tutorial, and switching from .ico to .png and still nothing
I recently added some text effects to my website in HTML and CSS. It runs perfectly on VS Code live sever but whenever I upload the code files on to my cpanel, the effects just seem to go away when I actually click and go on my website and I am not sure why. Does anyone know a fix for this? Here is my website julianwsanchez.com
And this how it is supposed to look:
How It Looks When I open it:
The output I'm seeing on your site matches the output of the code snippet here, effects and all.
Check to see if you have some browser extension that affects the way a site might look (e.g. a dark mode extension). Also, try going to your site in a different browser and/or in Incognito mode.
it Works for me just fine, both the link given, and the files running on localhost
You might need to do a hard reload.
try Ctrl-Shift-R on chrome when viewing the page.
This clears the browsers cache for that webpage,
alternative: open the web page in another browser.
I'm working on my website, matthewbellanalytics.com, and I have been trying to make some changes to the contact.css CSS of the contact page. I edited the CSS file and the changes that I was seeing offline weren't reflected online.
Specifically, I changed the background-color:blue, which worked offline as seen here:
I then replaced that file on my hostgator server and I double checked that it was replaced correctly by re-downloading the CSS file from my cPanel.
background-color:blue was definitely still part of the code.
But when I view the website online. background-color:blue, is mysteriously not part of the CSS file anymore.
I assumed this must be a caching issue so I cleared the cache on both firefox and chrome, but still no luck. I then tried opening the website on Opera which I haven't done before so there should be no cache. No luck.
The online page still isn't updating to blue, and looks like this:
Check the css file path. In server the path might vary.
I was able to solve it in chrome, but not firefox, by going into the developer tools and disabling the cache from there under the "network" tab. No other method of clearing cache seems to work.
Hi I'm kinda stuck on idea's to try to solve my problem since I don't have much experience concerning caches.
I'm currently working on this site of a business partner of me.
I got his host, username and password so I'm litterary working as him using Filezilla.
I downloaded the entire site content from filezilla into a desktopfolder.
I made a copy of it to work in and from there I made some changes in the .html and .css files.
In offline mode, everythings works perfectly as I want it.
Then I deleted the the sitecontent in Filezilla and replaced it with my changes.
Now the weird parts happen.
When I open the site online without www. prefix it works great
when I open the site online with www. prefix I can't see the images that are
placed within div's that purely concern the image
When a pc opened the site in the first 3 houres it was online, the div's don't
work
Also later on that specific pc can't make the div's to work
Pc's that opened the site only after these 3 houres have no problem at all
I've tried replacing the stylesheet and wait a couple hours, but caches seem to be made. and the result stays the same.
However this is no problem for the avarage customer since for them the site works, you can see what a hell this may be for me as developer and the owner, who offcourse opened the site right after I put it online.
Any suggestions might be usefull.
In most of the browsers you can use F12 shortcut to see the developer tools. In Network tab you can see all files that are currently being loaded. You can see there if the file is being loaded from the server or from the local machine.
By pressing CTRL+F5 (in Chrome and think in Firefox too) you are forcing cache to refresh.
If the PC is still loading in a cached version of the site, you can refresh the page and delete the cache by holding Control + F5.
Seems like I found the source of the problem.
I was using the css from a bought template which has some coding that malfunctions when ftp-uploading using ASCII
Uploading Binary solves the problem
The reason the did work on some computers was that they had the old css still cached. which was earlyer uploaded in binary instead of the same css files i uploaded in ASCII.
I created favicon.ico file and declared it in my HTML head tag:
<link type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" rel="icon" />
<link type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" />
IE 8 and Opera handle it great but FireFox does not even try to load it (as I see from my Fiddler debug proxy). I've tried many different type (image/ico etc.) and href params but no luck.
What did I miss?
Like most things in the browser, favicons (or lack thereof) are common candidates for caching.
Try clearing your browser cache.
In Mozilla Firefox, the keyboard shortcut to "Reload (override cache)" is
Ctrl + F5 OR
Ctrl + Shift + R
Firefox has separate cache for favicon and this does not work properly. The favicon is not updated easily in firefox. This is a small issue but troubles many of us for long time.
The solution is to clear the favicon cache so that the favicon is update. There are many solutions you can find if you go through the internet or stackoverflow. Most of the solution imvolves deleteing the favicon cache manually or using some plugins. Some saying deleting the file from temp internet files. But there is one really simple and easy way to fix the problem.
Type in www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico (or www.yoursite.com/apple-touch-icon.png, etc.)
CTRL + F5 or CTRL + R
This will immediately update the favicon.
This solution was originally posted by 'alex' at this link:
How do I force a favicon refresh
That's strange, because I just copy/pasted your code to a blank document, opened with firefox and some random image I renamed to favicon.ico loaded up as the favicon.
Maybe try this?

My problem was that I had another favicon.ico in a web root directory.
If You have a favicon in template directory "/template/favicon.ico" and another one in "/favicon.ico" firefox will use the favicon from root direcory even though you've used a link for favicon in template folder. Solution is delete the favicon in root directory.
My current version of firefox is 58.0b6 (Quantum).
So just had an issue with favicons not showing in Firefox v70.0.1.
Now this will probably only be an issue for a very few people and most likely only if you have modified the about:config settings in FF
This issue for me was the setting privacy.resistfingerprinting was set to true on some sites this will block favicons.
The other issue I noticed and what lead me to find out what was causing the issue was using dropzone.js on a site I was creating the uploaded images had a blank preview. The previews are base64 encoded and were being blocked by this.
Like I said most likely wont be an issue for most but wanted to post this somewhere so it may help others that may be facing a similar issue as I did.

I am not much of a programmer but I had a similar problem and here is the simple thing that finally worked for me...
I admin several simple websites but Firefox refused to load the favicon of one in particular site. I looked online, tried everything I was able to understand. Nothing worked. The code was exactly the same (copied in fact) from the other websites whose icons worked well.
Eventually it dawned on me that maybe Firefox did not like the path I used to get there. This site was a forwarded URL being hosted on my own domain. (i.e. personal domain is myplace.ca and the favicon that would not load was part of registered URL something.com which was actually located at myplace.ca/PutItHere/) If I used the registered URL (something.com) no favicon. If I use the real path in the browser, suddenly favicon! All I had to do was bookmark the absolute path rather than the registered domain!
I also found, that if you reference the full URL path, you may need to reference the URL WITH www. in it, otherwise it may not load.
Here it's in 2017. Firefox didn't pick up my favicon called "favicon-32x32.png", while Chrome was showing. I changed the file name to "favicon.png", AND refreshed as folks showed above, it worked great. I'm using:
Firefox version 55.0
Chrome version 60.0
