An updated favicon is not visible also after a page reload! How can this be done without deleting the full browser cache?

I updated the favicon on a homepage. I reloaded the page in firefox but the old favicon remains.

I do not want to delete the whole cache of the browser. A page reload should be enough because other users will not delete the cache to get the new favicon.

Did you try a reload with a cache bypass?

You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

If you have bookmarked that site then try to remove all bookmarks (open the bookmarks in tabs, click the yellow star and click the Remove button). Then try to reload all pages and create new bookmarks if that works. You may need to close and restart Firefox. You can also use Forget About This Site in the History right-click context menu but that will remove everything relating to that site, including saved passwords and exceptions.
