Favicon shows (45) in Firefox

why is the coming up

[Digmen1]

Hello
Glad to be back!
I just added a Favicon to my hand-coded website.
(its a very poor favcon) but I just wanted to have one for now.
It shows up Ok in my bookmark list.

But when I call up the website in Firefox I get a "(45)" before the name of my website on the Tab at the top of the window
(it also has a little red dot by it)

Any idea what is causing this

Hi there Digmen1,

what HTML are you using for it's display?

For me, something like this...

 <link rel="icon" sizes="144x144" href="images/favicon.png">

... would work very well. ;)

what HTML are you using for its display?

Or, to backtrack: are you explicitly calling it at all, or are you letting the browser do it?

:: quick detour to test site to verify that FF hasn’t started doing weird stuff when a favicon isn’t explicitly coded, as most of mine still aren’t ::

Do you mean that FF is displaying (45) in the location where it would normally show the favicon (upper left corner of the tab)?

Sorry
I made a mistake
I my website the favicon is showing up all OK, I just put it in my root folder and Firefox picked it iup
I did not enter any HTML code

The problem is in my Forum (attached to my website)
Its a Xenforo Forum and every page comes up with the favicon (with a red dot on it) then (45) then the name of my forum

So I suppose its a question that I should address to the Xenforo forum.
