 What is a favicon? A favicon is a small icon (16x16 px) in a browser address bar (near the url of your website). All uCoz websites have the following default favicon:
How to replace the default icon by a custom one?
http://faq.ucoz.com/faq/29-1#220
If this explanation is not enough then follow the steps below: - Download or create (by means of special programs) an icon - .ico file 16x16 px.
- Name it favicon.ico.
- Upload this icon to File Manager or via FTP to the root folder of your website (the first folder where you see the original favicon.ico). You don't need to delete the original icon, just upload a new one and the old one will be replaced automatically.
- If you have done everything correctly, then you will be able to view a new icon at _http://your_site.ucoz.com/favicon.ico. Go to your website and refresh the page. If the icon hasn't changed, clear browser's cache or simply wait for some time.
IE may not display the icon. To solve this problem try to paste the following code between < head> and < /head>: Code <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

Your icon name must be favicon.ico and you must wait for a quite while for it to change.

A green one, If you are in firefox, go to tools, clear private data and then left click Clear private data now. Then close your firefox and then reopen it.

I upload my favicon, then I view the file, all I see is the ucoz one. So I used the alternative linking to the favicon in the header. But that doesn't work for modules. Please help. Thanks
