[quoteost_uid0="NAHTMMM"][color=#000000ost_uid0]With regards to today's update, my Internet Explorer 6 does support the favicons in the bookmarks menu (though they have a habit of reverting to the usual bland "blue e" icon when I'm not looking :suspicious, but I don't think it supports them in the address bar (neither does my Netscape browser, apparently).[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
[color=#000000ost_uid0]IE does sort-of support favicon (ironic that it has the flakiest implementation since it invented the favicon).

Steps for IE (at least my version of IE, which is 6):
- Go to 5MV.
- Bookmark page.
- When you access your Favorites, you should see that the site has the 5MV icon.
- If you select the favorite, you will go to the site, and the icon in the location bar will change to the 5MV icon.

Bookmarking is key. Otherwise IE won't look for the favicon. I don't know why it works like that, but that's IE for you.[/colorost_uid0]
