Thank you and good bye, sorry for bad english but -> running out of time :-)

Seems to be open season on favicons and "scripts on this page running slowly". I suspect that what you are hoping for could only be achieved by a system in which every time the URL addressbar changes, an HTTP request is sent for /favicon.ico (and possibly for any favicon(s) referenced in link elements). How else could you know that the browser's idea of the current favicon is the same as the server's and/or web author's? I really hope that this is not implemented! Other distributed databases such as DNS and caching proxies have designed TTLs et cetera so that there is an agreed notion of freshness. If this is important to you then I suggest that under the Tools menu we have an item for 'Server Info' to show the latest known info about the server for the current URL (or selected URL in a sidebar) including its banner, canonical name, IP number, protocol and favicon. In 'page info' we could add a tab for meta data including whether its favicon came from a link element or /favicon.ico and so forth. You could refresh this at will.
