Here's my favicon, base64-encoded (I put the binary version on the server, of course):

Firefox doesn't seem to recognize this favicon - it's Windows 16x16 .ico format, PNG-compressed. It doesn't display it on a tab nor in bookmarks and in "page details" it says that its size is 0x0. What could be the reason?

I had this problem with Firefox too.
On my website the favicon on example.com worked
fine but not on www.example.com.
I fixed it by hardcoding the favicon.

<link rel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon' href='http://example.com/favicon.ico'>

I decoded that image and opened it with Firefox. Firefox was able to read it just fine.

I visited your website (found through reverse image search for the icon) and confirmed that in Firefox, the icon does not show up in the tab.

I looked at your source code. You should add the following code into the head of your website. It will trigger browsers other than Internet Explorer to fetch the favicon:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
