windows 7 - How to download favicon from website?

When you browse a website, the "favicon" icon shows up in the tab or next to the URL (or next to the bookmark).

If I want that graphic, is there a way to download it directly from the site? I'd prefer to download it directly from the web, but if all else fails, I'll dig it out of wherever it is stored on my computer (Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.6).

Answer

Studiohack has the "thorough" approach but heres a short hack:

1. Enter the domain name like https://superuser.com/(must end with '/')


2. Add favicon.ico to the end


3. Press enter (this should be in the URL: https://superuser.com/favicon.ico)


4. Right click on the image and click "save image as"
