put your favicon.ico in this path:

JOOMLAROOT/templates/rhuk_milkway

and then open templateDetails.xml in this folder, and write this code betwwen this tag :

<file>
<filename>favicon.ico</filename>
....
</file>

you don't need put <link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> in the head. just place this code in your head: <jdoc:include type="head" /> joomla does it itself!

Make sure that your template have this tag <jdoc:include type="head" /> after head tag than joomla will automatically add

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

and replace current favicon icon with your one. Clear the cache and try.

it should be like

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

path of your template directory or where your favicon is place

Also Try it on Another browser from which you have not accessed your site earlier
