Firefox request favicon.ico from every site it visits. If it finds one 
then you get that nice little icon in the URL bar - and when you make a 
bookmark it uses the favicon.ico as well.

So to handle this in catalyst you can any of the following:
- ignore it
- make a method to handle it
- use Catalyst::Plugin::Static to serve up a favicon.ico file when requested
