Attachment: favicon comparison

We're serving the Firefox favicon to Firefox users but serving the Mozilla dino favicon to IE users. It should be the Firefox favicon for both. Screenshot attached.

http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico is serving the good file.

After clearing my IE history, I have a new favicon showing. It seems that IE is doing very aggressive caching on favicons, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537656%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#Troubleshooting_Shortcut_Icons or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3970936/how-to-clear-ies-favicon-cache

Closing this. The headers are properly defined and it's only an IE problem.
