You will need a copy of the website's icon saved on your computer. Right click on the desktop shortcut and select Properties. Under the "Shortcut" tab click the "Change Icon" button, and then change the icon to the website's icon that you saved.

You can try to toggle the browser.shell.shortcutFavicons pref on the about:config page.
