- Install Joomla in the folder /var/www/html/default
- Go to http://localhost/default/index.php

what browser do you use for testing? If i recall correctly there is such a issue with the IE?
I'm using Chrome (version 51) and Firefox (version 48) - both on Linux.
But this is an issue that is showing in the source code (plain HTML)
This is in the source code:

so here's the code again:
<link href="/templates/protostar/favicon.ico?random=796167" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />

That doesn't look like my site:
<link href="/joomla-cms/templates/protostar/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />
What is that random=796167 doing in your URL?
@jurgenG Please can you reply to the comment above or we will have to conclude that this is not a core joomla issue and will close

My apologies. This indeed is not a core issue.
I forgot that I installed Joomla My Little Helper - won't use it again, it does all kinds of tracking oddities...

Even if you don't use it, it is good to report your findings to the author of the plugin, thus bugs can be fixed, also some issues are not bugs they are results of configuration
@JurgenG I run all my test sites in a WAMP setup with subfolders and don't see the issue there nor on my Mac with LAMP setup and subfolders. What is in the source code for the favicon?
