If you want the huge long story, read the thread "favicons" in this ng. You 
can also go to www.favicon.com. The short story - Mozilla looks for 
favicon.ico on the webserver i.e. if you go to www.cnn.com, mozilla will 
look for www.cnn.com/favicon.ico and display it as favicon. Another way 
to do it is to have a <link> tag. Look at the threads and website for 
more (a lot more) details.

Pratik.
