If favicon and html file are on local disk, then only default icon is shown in
address bar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open file from local disk that has favicon

instead of favicon default icon is shown

Expected Results:  
Show favicon

I think that this worked fine in some previous releases of Firefox.

Do yoo have the html file opened via file:/// or http://?

Comment 2

[Ivan Ičin]

HTML file is also local (file://).

If it is of some use, favicon is in subdir:

<link rel="icon" href="Graphs/favicon.gif" type="image/gif">

I find that it will show it in the address-bar but not in the tab. Perhaps it is
because it considers all files on the local machine to be non-cached because
they are local.  I think firefox needs to be able to cache favicons to be able
to display them on the tabs and bookmarks.
