Subject: Shortcut icon (favicon) appears wrong in Firefox
On two separate computers I've found the shortcut icon that appears on
Google Reader tabs and in the URL bar has recently started appearing
as the standard Google "G" and not the blue feed icon. In both cases
I'm using Firefox on Windows. It seems to be working normally in
Internet Explorer. I'm not sure if the problem is from a recent
Firefox update or because something changed in Google Reader.

Has anybody else found this?

Tonight I'm noticing that Reader's favicon is non-existent, and is
being displayed as the default Firefox page icon. I don't even get a
blue G.

Still happening after another Firefox update. From Firefox's about
dialog:
dialog:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/
20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
This is the icon I'm expecting:
http://www.google.com/reader/ui/favicon.ico
This is the icon I'm seeing:
http://www.google.com/favicon.ico
If change the Firefox pref browser.chrome.favicons to False, I see the
Firefox default page icon of a white sheet of paper with the corner
folded over. As I understand it, this pref controls whether Firefox
looks for "favicon.ico" when it cannot find a link tag pointing to a
shortcut icon. When I do View Source on Google Reader, I do see the
link tag:
<link href="/reader/ui/favicon.ico" rel="SHORTCUT ICON">
I'm not sure why it's not working. Perhaps it's a Firefox bug?

Some further information. If I open a new tab and enter any of the
following URLs, the incorrect favicon is displayed:
following URLs, the incorrect favicon is displayed:
http://reader.google.com
http://www.google.com/reader/
http://www.google.com/reader/view/
If I open a new tab and enter any of the following URLs the correct
favicon is displayed:
http://www.google.com/reader/view/#
http://www.google.com/reader/view/#overview-page
http://www.google.com/reader/view/#trends-page
Looks like the presence of the fragment identifier for the page has
something to do with it.
Cheers,

That's rather weird, but a great workaround. Thanks! I kept losing
track of my reader tab amongst the others I'd opened, but I've changed
the bookmark to include the # and it solves that problem. I'd be
fascinated to know what's causing the root problem. I would submit a
bug to Firefox, but it seems to be quite a convoluted process to go
through.

I've been seeing the exact same thing happen, but I've been able to
work around it by force-refreshing the browser (i.e. hold down [Shift]
as I click on the Refresh button in FF).

It's annoying to have to do this every time I load up Google Reader,
so I hope it gets fixed soon, but at least it's something relatively
minor.
