Favicons – how and why
What Is A Favicon And Why Use One
Visit almost any popular website and have a look in the address bar. To the left of the URL you will see a 16×16 pixel image or icon. If you then bookmark or favorite it you will see that icon when you scroll through the list. If your browser supports tabs you will also see the icon in the tab. In most cases the icon is a static image unless you use Firefox or Flock.
