On my current browser, I have already cleared all navigation data but same issue.

So I have tried to install a new browser on my smartphone (like opera or firefox) and favicon is displayed that's good.

So, on my current browser (chrome), how can I totally clear cache including favicon cleaning?

Local storage in your browser

Thanks @brianteeman I will check.

Do you recommend to upload only joomla-favicon.svg or all the 3 files joomla-favicon.svg, favicon.ico and joomla-favicon-pinned.svg ?

Hi, I tried to understand this issue.

Since the favicon works correctly on desktop and also on a fresh mobile browser, it seems likely that this is related to browser caching or local storage (especially on Chrome mobile), rather than a Joomla core issue.

Favicons are often aggressively cached by browsers, and even clearing normal browsing data may not fully refresh them.

You can try:

• Clearing site data (not just history)
• Opening in incognito mode
• Testing with a different browser (as you already did)

If the favicon updates correctly in a fresh browser, this might not require a code-level fix in Joomla.

Please let me know if there are additional steps to consistently reproduce this across devices.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have already tried to clear all site data (cookies, history etc..) everything + test from incognito mode => same issue.

But indeed, when I try from on a fresh mobile browser, favicon is correctly displayed.

So, indeed, I think the problem is coming from browser local cache. But I don't know how to clear it completely.

To be sure, 2 questions :

1. If I use cassiopeia extended, is it mandatory to all override favicons on cassiopeia folder inside /media/templates/site/cassiopeia/images/ ?

2. on cassiopeia extended folder here /media/templates/site/cassiopeia_extended/images/ , is it enough to override only joomla-favicon.svg file, or is it better to override these 3 files joomla-favicon.svg, favicon.ico and joomla-favicon-pinned.svg ?

Thank you

You always need to override all 3 files. Each of them is good for a different purpose / sytem / browser.

@drmenzelit understood, thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
I can't force Joomla, to change my favicon TOO.

It looks like Cloudflare is caching. When I use a VPN in Opera, the logo displays correctly.
After 1-2h all browsers get favicon updated. hmmm

Based on the latest updates (VPN test and delayed favicon update), this appears to be a caching issue rather than a Joomla problem.

Chrome mobile caches favicons very aggressively, and CDN services like Cloudflare can also cache these files.

Since the favicon displays correctly in a fresh browser and updates after some time, it confirms caching behavior.

Suggested fixes:

Override all 3 favicon files (svg, ico, pinned)
Use cache-busting (rename file or add version like ?v=2)
Purge CDN cache (if using Cloudflare)
Clear site data on mobile browser

So this likely does not require a Joomla core fix.
