User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

The favicon has been changed. This item file name didn't change, it is "fj.ico",
in the old version, as in the new. Perhaps is thi the cause, but if I refresh
the page, the favicon don't change ans persist in old version, although the rest
of the page is really refreshed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.change a favicon file but not change the filename
2.reload the page
3.favicon persist in old version

Actual Results:  
I've cleared the caches, and the new version of favicon appeared.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have refreshed the favicon and the page simultaneously

Bug 120466 claims just the opposite. And Phoenix should have a 'never expire'
cache /on purpose/, which is what you describe here.

Is your new favicon is on a local disk? If so, this is a bug 137819 dupe. Try a
newer build.
