You can't. The Title tag only affects the browsers title bar, the icon their is assigned by the browser itself usually an icon representing the browser.

If you want an icon in the Address bar. the place where you would type an address to go to, then Drysnot's suggestion is the way to go. They are called Favicons.

Between the title tags all you can put is text.

The easy way to find out would be to look at the source code of the pages concerned.

That is the favicon..
You make a link element which points to a icon url.

HTML:

Code: 
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" />
and/or:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

Put the code in the [tt]<head></head>[/tt] section.
Also, I've seen sites with an animated GIF icon too.
