Works for me in Firefox 1.0 on Windows 2000.

More information: It seems to work if you have the site remotely i.e. http://file.html But if you link to a 
local file for example using file:///c:/file.html then it does not show up in the tab.

I define my header of page to look like:

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="favicon/apple-icon-57x57.png">

Even when page has no favicon definition it is displayed.

Reloading the page with no cache (CTRL+SHIFT+R) do no help.
There is no any request to server which requests any of favicons. (I grep server logs)

This seems related: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=110449#c26

my FF version is 57.0.4

Show favicon.ico in developer tool-> network tab. Also cleanup favicon cache if it is requested (CTRL+SHIFT+R)
