I placed my favicon here:

http://www.vittoriosastarsnursery.com/favicon.ico

But for some reason it doesn't want to show in Firefox. It did work in IE, but I'm more concerned about getting it working in Firefox.

You should add "?" to your favicon path and it works! Even with path such as images/favicon.ico. Just try:

<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon.ico?" type="image/x-icon">

Other browsers works too.

Remember to restart mozilla, because of it's own cache, that is not connected with css and other caching.

updated:

Another way is set redirect from favicon.ico to /images/favicon.ico (301 works)
