Perhaps the problem stays in the icon itself. There are some limitations about the format of the icon itself.
Please make sure that your icon in the correct size and format. Because a FavIcon.ico for Internet Explorer must be square in size, .ico format and at least 16 x 16 pixels.

You can also try using a png file instead of ico file.
