Bug report

Required System information

• Node.js version: 18.18.2
• NPM version: 9.8.1
• Strapi version: 4.15.5
• Database: MariaDB 10.6
• Operating system: Debian 12.4
• Is your project Javascript or Typescript: Typescript

Describe the bug

This is the config we export via the admin.tsx file:

import favicon from "./extensions/favicon.png";
import logo from "./extensions/logo.svg";

export default {
  config: {
    head: {
      favicon: favicon,
    },
    menu: {
      logo: logo,
    },
    auth: {
      logo: logo,
    },
}

Both the menu and auth logo are getting replaced but the favicon stays the same.
Checked the browser cache etc. the favicon isn't cached.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to your admin.js|.ts file
2. update the file with the same content
3. Open strapi, see the favicon not changing

Expected behavior

The favicon should be the one I provide.
