I see your favicon in Firefox, both in the location bar, and on the
tab, but not when bookmarking it. Try adding the word shortcut to the
link, and adding the type. I use the following two lines:

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

Your page also wanted to install plugins, and apparently play two
different pieces of music at the same time. Not nice. :-(
