Most likely, almost certainly SELinux issues. I agree with anyone else
suggesting this reason. There's a FAQ about that on the Fedora website,
as already mentioned.

Many browsers request /favicon.ico when loading or bookmarking a page.
They're trying to find an icon for your website, to put in the bookmarks
or display next to the address, and looking in a common place they all
expect to find one.
You can:
1. Ignore it (ignore what the log says, or tell the log to ignore such
requests).
2. Put an icon where it's looking for one. There's a plethora of FAQs
about how to do it right (I never recall the details, I just look for it
if I want to do that). Stick a "no MSIE" one in there. ;-)
