A Favorite Icon is that small image (logo or picture) that appears next to the page name (URL field / webpage) on a browser's tab (such as Firefox).
To add it to your pages, create a 16 pixel wide by 16 pixel high image file and set its color depth to 16. Save it in Windows Icon Format (favicon.ico) and upload the saved file to the web server. Finally, add the following code to the HEAD section of your HTML pages:
<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="/favicon.ico">
