Google-chrome – Favicon not showing up in Firefox or Chrome

faviconfirefoxgoogle-chrome

I've uploaded a favicon.ico to my client's root (htdocs) directory on the server and added
the following before the </head> tag:

<link type="image/x-icon" rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico"/>
<link type="image/x-icon" rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"/>

It loads fine in every browser EXCEPT for Firefox and Chrome. In those two, although the
icon loads in the tab, it does not load in the web address bar. In Firefox I see a globe
icon and in Chrome I see a document icon.

Isn't this normal in Chrome and FF? I don't see the favicon in the address bar on any side in chrome. There the are displayed in the tab. The doc icon is use to show detailed information about the page. If you find a page showing a favicon in the address bar you can look at the page source to find out how they did it.
