title: How do I remove the favicon from my rails app
body: <p>I have a rails 3.2.6 app and I am using the asset pipeline and I have no favicon.ico but for some reason my app keeps looking for it which is causing problems </p>
  
  <pre><code>Started GET "/favicon.ico" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-06-18 16:20:44 -0400
  Processing by PlaylistsController#index as 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have no idea what is causing this to get called...there is nothing in my app at all that has the text favicon</p>
  
  <p>My question is, Is there a place in rails that i can tell this to stop?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my head information just in case</p>
