Changing the Magento Favicon

If you’re using a default theme, the new favicon.ico needs to be uploaded into the /skin/frontend/default/default/favicon.ico directory.

For custom themes, the favicon should go into the /skin/frontend/default/CUSTOM_THEME/favicon.ico directory instead. That was simple and we have successfully updated our favicon! To view it we need to clear the browser cookies and cache and hit refresh.
