Favicon Only in URL bar, not tab

    I recently made a favicon for my site, http://www.bobspcrepair.com/.
    I am just wondering how come the favicon only displays in the URL bar in firefox, and not the tab. And another problem I am having is when I have two tabs open for example, and switch between my site and the other site, my favicon disappears from the URL bar and I have to refresh for it to come back. This is the current code I am using:
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
    Do I need something else in <head> to fix my problems? Does using frames have anything to do with this?

    Thanks.

    It works fine for me, but you might try using <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico"> as backup.

    I added that and I dont think it worked. How come it works for me on http://www.radioshack.com/, but then on my site it doesnt. Radioshack is using the same code:
    <LINK REL ="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.radioshack.com/images/site/favicon.ico">
    Whats going on?

    I'm not sure why this isn't working. What version of Firefox are you using?

    Im using firefox 1.0.4. I also tried going onto my site with another computer with firefox 1.0.4 and got the same result. I dont think it is the computer, I think the problem is the way I put the code in.

    You dont think it has anything to do with the frames?
