Answer 1

Have a look at this question: Favicon not showing up in Google Chrome

1) Clear your cache. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582 And test another browser, lets say safari. How did you import the favicon?

2) How you should add it:

Normal favicon:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

PNG/GIF favicon:

<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.gif" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />

3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver).

Answer 2

<link rel = "shortcut icon" href = "test_image.ico" type = "image/x-icon" />

Also, if your icon is too small, double the size. That worked for me when I had this issue.

Answer 3

I was having exactly the same problem. Then I tried refreshing the page by doing Ctrl + Shift+ R. It worked!
