I believe its called a favicon. I think all you need to do is place a file called favicon.ico in the same directory as the page you want it to show up on. http://www.favicon.com/ will tell you more.

I usually don't do this, as I try to be helpful. But in my defense it is semi-helpful A search using "URL icon" (using favicon would be unfair since you wouldn't know to search for it) reveals:

How to code the Little Icon to Left of URL?

hOw tO cReaTe thiS iCon fOr yA WebsitE ???

Little icon in front of URL...?

Getting logo's in address bar in safari

Those Little Browser icons in mozilla and chimera

And of course, using favicon as a search:

Favicons (how to add them to your pages)

Icon code

Icon in browser address fields?

setting an icon for your website

Maybe we can sticky this?

It might be helpful for you to check out this online favicon generator if you already have an image to use.
