I don't know if this is a Google Problem or Firefox problem but it doesn't happen in Chrome, IE, or Edge so....

When I go to Gmail.com and log in and then I click on the Google Menu button and choose Calendar, the Calendar page loads up with the general Google 'G' icon for the favicon. If I then manually Refresh the page the favicon changes to the proper Calendar favicon with the date in it.

I don't know what controls this but it's annoying when I'm trying to find my calendar within my 20 tabs and can't figure out which 'G' is the calendar. If this could get fixed, that would be great. It has been a problem for at least 2 years now.

Anyone else that can verify this?

Now I don't get any favicon at all when I first open the Calendar from within Gmail. Then after refreshing I get the correct favicon.

Yeah, it changed a while ago. Now you won't get any icon at all, until you refresh the tab. Then you'll get the proper calendar icon.

My problem was that I didn't have a tab to refresh. That was what I was trying to find. No help anywhere. Finally stumbled around and solved the problem on my own. Thanks for the offer.
