You will need to do a couple of things to uninstall an Action. First, on any page or folder where you have added the Action (in all documents you’ve tried this on) remove the Action from the page or folder. You’ll know you’ve done it when the little “cog” badge disappears from the page. (Unless you have another Action applied to the same page or folder – the badge only disappears when all are removed.) You remove an Action by opening the Actions palette, making sure you have the correct selection (page or folder) and clicking the little (x) that appears in the Action’s tab when you mouse over it.
Next, locate your Actions folder. On Lion or Mountain Lion, your Library folder is hidden, so as to keep you from fiddling with it. To access it, click on the desktop in Finder and type Shift - Command - G. In the dialog that appears, type exactly this: ~/Library/Application Support/Freeway 5/Actions/General. (If you’re not looking at this message on the Web, don’t type the back-tick characters, they’re used to mark a phrase as code.) If you’re on Snow Leopard or lower, just open that folder in Finder, as it will be visible.
In that folder you will see all of your currently installed Actions. With Freeway quit, simply delete and empty the trash to get rid of any third-party Actions you may have installed. All of the native Actions (built in and shipped with Freeway) are hidden inside of Freeway’s application bundle, but I don’t think you need to remove those at the moment.
Finally, I believe it is important to save the Favicon named exactly favicon.ico in Windows Icon format. Photoshop won’t save that format directly, but there is a free Plug-in available online that will add that option to the Export menu. Have a google for it if you’re using Photoshop. Otherwise, GraphicConverter can definitely do this. Save the image as exactly 16px square, too.
As you are testing this, remember that Safari caches these images (or the lack thereof) and is ferocious about hanging on to them. You may need to look for a cache manager (I remember downloading one years ago, not sure if it still works on the modern version of Safari) that would take care of the favicon cache and allow you to delete individual icons or all of them. A simple way to test this is to use a different browser, one that you’ve not used on this site, to compare with your Safari.

Hi, Guys –
I’ve never been able to get the Favicon action to work. I’ve installed both the Actions Forge version and the Freeway Actions version but neither one works for me.
Is it possible that they’re conflicting with one another (I added both actions to my actions folder). If so, how do I delete an action (couldn’t find instructions on Freeway Talk).
Thanks,
Jamie
