Just open your index.php file (under templates/[template-name]) and remove the above line. It should be there somewhere.

No this line is generate automaticaly.
It is probably added by the <jdoc:include type="head" />.

Hi no-reply,

The link to favicon is automatically generated by Joomla in file libraries/joomla/document/html/html.php on lines 581-594.

To remove it you can comment the line 591 (adding //):

Code: Select all

// $this->addFavicon(JUri::base(true) . '/' . $path . 'favicon.ico');

Important: this file is a core file so it can be modified during Joomla update.

You can also check if an extension managing the favicon could help: http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=favicon

Best regards,
Rajoz

You need more than just a single favicon now to be compatible with all platforms.
