I've found in the page http://tuncas.altervista.org/lotdate/releasenotes01.html
a bug on firefox.
I've already made a testcase and i'm submitting it.
In the explanation i'll refer to the testcase page, for easily understanding.
When you open the page, in the address bar the favicon appears at the left of
the address, as it should be.
When you click on the link, the favicon is replaced by the standard icon. But if
you reload the page, the favicon comes up again.

I think that the favicon should be always displayed, even after you click on the
link.

The testcase points to the favicon attached. Please wait till the favicon is
loaded before testing.

confirming bug with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

note that the problem is concerning only the favicon in the address bar. the one
in the tab is ok.

I can see the problem with XP SP2 but not in Win2k

So it's a os-dependant bug.
I am running win xp pro SP1.

If by "click on the link" I am in the right when I click on the link labelled
"Links" then I saw the favicon disappear and very shortly after re-appear.

If Firefox's graphics engine draws text before pictures (which IMHO it should)
then transient glitches like this are bound to happen ...

Clicking on the link at the bottom of the page ( ...releasenotes01.html#inizio )
produces the behaviour that the OP reports. I can see the problem

[Fabio Russo]

Sorry for the page being in italian :)
but yes, the kind of link I intended to isolate in the testcase was the one Ben
found at the page's bottom (...releasenotes01.html#inizio).
I didn't want to mean the "Links" one.
