FireFox 3.6 - 9 drops favicon when changing [removed]

Question

Problem exists only on FireFox (from 3.6 up to current 9), other browsers are fine. My code looks like this:

jQuery.extend({
    AnchorFromUrl : function(url) {

I had the same problem, but found this interesting post and it worked for me, its just adding 2 lines of javascript. The problem occure when the hash element changes, so, we need to re-stablish it via javascript

http://kilianvalkhof.com/2010/javascript/the-case-of-the-disappearing-favicon/

this is the code

function setFavicon() {
  var link = $('link[type="image/x-icon"]').remove().attr("href");
  $('').appendTo('head');
}

Or (thanks to Mottie) using jQuery detach

$('link[type*=icon]').detach().appendTo('head');
