Hi Peter
The same problem is happening to me
I am using tomcat 4.1.30, it's configured like this
1) server.xml is configured like this
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="99"
driverName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/authority"
connectionName="test" connectionPassword="test"
userTable="users" userNameCol="user_name" userCredCol="user_pass"
userRoleTable="user_roles" roleNameCol="role_name" />
and I commented the default memory realm
<!--
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" />
-->
2) I've created the database tables correctly and the authentication
seems to be working, since I get the following log message from
cataline_log.(date).txt

2006-01-16 13:51:36 StandardHost[localhost]: Mapped to context ''
and after logging using the login.jsp page, which contains
<body>
<form method="POST" action="<%=response.encodeURL("j_security_check")%>">
User<input type="text" name="j_username">
Pass<input type="password" name="j_password">
<input type="submit" value="Log In">
</form>
</body>
it tries to get favicon.ico or j_security_check (sometimes one,
sometimes another), which is obviously wrong, returning an http error
404
I am also using firefox 1.0.7
notice that this works perfectly on Internet Explorer, so it seems to
be a browser problem, not a tomcat problem.
I'll try a newer firefox version

/favicon.ico is a semi-supported feature, introduced by IE5, if I'm not
mistaken, but now dropped by IE6. It allows a web designer to associate
an icon with the web site. This icon usually apperas in your location
par of the browser, usually on the left of the URL.
I don't think it has anything to do with FORM authentication.
Nix.
