I don't think this was a problem before Firefox 1.0 came out. I haven't checked on Google much about this, but it seems like the wrong thing to do. I want to reset a favicon in Firefox on a domain I manage - a bad Apache config ended up grabbing another site's favicon as a representation, but fixing Apache didn't prevent persisting the mistake - yet Firefox constantly won't give a 404 on the favicon file that truly isn't there. Instead, it offers me a Windows Icon download, presumably from its cache of icons. How do I get rid of it, short of actually designing a new favicon and changing the HTML to point to it? |
