A:
I think you are refering to the green box that shows the PayPal logo followed by "PayPal, Inc. (US)".
If so, it is not a favicon, but a feature of Firefox 3 to show sites with extended validation (EV). See also http://news.cnet.com/8301-13554_3-9974672-33.html

That is not a favicon, but the type of SSL certificate they use. It's an Extended Validation (EV) certificate, which intends to provide better identity verification.
