The favicon can not be defined in CSS. If you want reliable behaviour, you should use the HTML tags.
Browsers will usually automatically look at /favicon.ico if an icon isn't defined in HTML. Putting an .ico file here will work in all browsers, but this won't work for other file types.
I am not sure about having the Icon in CSS but if you put the icon in the root folder of your site browsers will show the icon correctly. (As A ICO Format)
This has good information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

Personally I would stick to ICO format because gif is not supported in Internet Explorer according to this article I listed in the above answer.
An html tag is a reliable way to achieve this effect. Of note, the current auto-generated tags from favicon.io have broken end tags, so you will need to fill them in. Additionally, I recommend adding an additional line to include the href for the favicon.ico file that they auto generate for you as well.
