At foxnews.com, I repeatly get a window asking me to download their icon, favicon.ico. How do I stop this? Closing the box or downloading makes no matter - it keeps coming back and disrupting my browsing, even when other tabs are in view.

A dialog box pops up asking me what to do with the favicon.ico file from foxnews.com. I tried saving the file as an option, but it did not work. I clicked to open it, it opens it in a image viewer, but minutes later, I get the same dialog box again. It hasn't happened on Windows 7 laptop, only on this XP desktop I am using.

How do I make it stop? I prefer Firefox, but if it keeps up, I'll have to switch to some other browser.
