You did?
Hmmm....
I don't recall seeing that...
FWIW, I just tested it with Mozilla 1.0.1 that came with RH 8 and it works 
swimmingly...
Added 
user_pref("browser.chrome.favicons",true);
to $HOME/.mozilla/<profile>/<salt>.slt/user.js

This, of course, needs to be done while Mozilla is not running.
What version of Moz have you tried this with?
