Almost all of my Web pages contain the following in the<head> section:

<link rel="icon" href="DR.ICO" type="image/x-icon">
These provide for an icon appearing in the SeaMonkey address area and an
icon appended to anyone else's bookmark for the page.
When I log headers via LiveHTTPheaders, why don't I see a log entry for
the icon? When does SeaMonkey fetch the icon from the Web server?
When the cache says it's expired. Just like with any other external file
(image, JS, CSS, ...). Expiration depends on the HTTP headers that are
part of the initial response, which depend on the issuing server and
perhaps the software/code used (e.g. in case of PHP), and the clocks of
both the server and yours. Whether it's still in the cache depends on
your cache size and the cache retention policy (like first-in-first-out
or least-recently-used). Whether the cache is used depends on your settings.
I would guess that using Shift+Reload bypasses all parts of cache usage,
including this one.
