XF 1.5 Favicon shows when logged in and disappears when logged out

[Aivaras]

In Firefox, the favicon shows when logged in and disappears when logged out. In Crome and Edge, the favicon shows all the time.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

I have seen all kinds of weird favicon behaviors in some browsers. I am inclined to blame your browser.

Sometimes this extra head tag can help:

Thanks for the tip. It worked.

I had that line of code in there but with the relative path specified. Changing the path to absolute forced the favicon to appear even when logged out.

Upon further inspection of the issue and courteous help from @AndyB I determined the real cause of the problem. My "favicon.icon" was in the wrong directory, namely "root/community". Once I moved it to the root directory the problem disappeared.
