Add this code to header or footer
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="IMG URL">
Replace IMG URL with an image that you want, it will automatically be resized to 16x16.

With FF it will instantly change, but with IE it may take a few days.  Also in IE the icon has been know to disappear for a while.

If the image is named favicon.ico you need to only use this code and it will show up in all browsers with no problems, including IE:
Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="image url" type="image/x-icon">


If you use a .gif image you need to use both of the codes below in order for it to show up in all browsers.   

Code:
<link rel="icon" href="image url" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="image url" type="image/x-icon">

the image should be 16x16 pixels

replace image url with the url of your image
