It's called a favicon. Usually you have to add the code
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
in the head of the page and have a favicon uploaded onto your server.

I checked out your site and I can’t see a favicon for it.
I believe the problem would be your Firefox. For some reason Firefox sometimes seems to pick up random favicons for sites. I remember when I first bookmarked my sites forums, it had a vBulletin favicon, despite being IPB.
Sorry, but I dont know any fix for this. Try seaching the Mozilla forum, you may find a fix there.
Hope this helped

A site of mine picked up Google's for some reason, and my link into my router is Yahoo!'s. Very strange.

I get a 404 when trying to get the favicon.

You need to create a small icon (32x32 is the size I use). Save it as jpg and then go here. http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/
This is a great site, just upload your jpg favicon and it will create a the .ico file you need. Upload that to your server and that should work fine.

Just creating the jpg and changing the file extension to .ico has always worked for me.
