Hello All,

The favicon is not being picked up & displayed by firefox in the pop-up windows that are opened using JavaScript window.open function. The pop-up window title bar shows the default firefox

icon whereas the main window tab shows the custom favicon that is put using the code line <link rel="icon" href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/favicon.ico">. The same code works in chrome browser without a problem. Is there any specific way for this to work properly in firefox browser? Along with everything else (I wish as a coder) this should be browser independent right? Regards, Shiva Shankar, Bengaluru

Hi, as this is not a Firefox issue please ask your java related questions in a java forum : https://www.google.ca/search?client=firefox-b&dcr=0&ei=SmusWpTADpCGjwOcgpugBA&q=java+forums&oq=java+forums&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l4j0i22i30k1l6.290456.303050.0.303230.19.11.4.4.5.0.194.1168.4j6.10.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..1.18.1276...0i67k1j0i131k1.0.3zSicIiS45U
