Across my entire site my favicon shows up just fine, except on gallerix pages when they have a # sign in them. I tested other sites using # as anchors and even with invalid anchors, and it doesnt cause a problem with favicons. I checked the gallerix maintainer's website (example page: http://the.failbo.at/node/118#587) and the same problem exists there. I am guessing that this is related to some ajax work being done that is using the # in the URL for pulling in images with ajax when pages are bookmarked, I just don't understand how this could be messing up with favicons.

This isn't specific to Gallerix only. I think this affects Drupal (or the theming engine?) in general. I'm disappointed nobody has paid attention to this. Probably if we move it to the right project? But it can't be the core because if we visit http://drupal.org/node/353815#comment-1185266, the Drupal favicon still appears. Hmmmm. What module could be causing this. I'm not using gallerix.

I see the problem. Weird! It could be the browser adding the # to the favicon request?! Because the link is just right.

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

Hmmm...

I'm marking this as a duplicate of the following:

#230730: Comments for the gallerix nodes cause a problem because of the # character

Since fixing the hash problem in Gallerix will fix the favicon problem we're seeing today.

Thank you.
