Yahoo! Favicon Appearing on Facebook

Filed under: social media, yahooKevin Gibbons @ 6:59 pm

Maybe Yahoo! have agreed a deal with Facebook after all. Or more likely, my Internet Explorer browser is trying to trick me into blogging about a rumour which ended a while ago :)

Yahoo! Favicon Appearing for Facebook!

It’s quite interesting that of all the .ico images that could have been mixed up the Yahoo one was used, even a new window and a CTRL+F5 page refresh doesn’t fix it, but everything’s fine in FireFox. Also if anyone knows how I can set MSN Messenger to open my Hotmail account using my default browser instead of a new IE window please let me know, I don’t think Microsoft have made that too easy though! ;)

  1. That Yahoo icon comes up on some different websites, so I think it is some kind of virus or something like that. It comes up on my own site http://www.abmedia.dk regardles of the fact that I made a favicon command and used to have my own icon. Only the index.htm page are affected.
    Facebook.com come with normal icon.
    I´m using IE 7.0

    Strange !
