The simplest solution would be to put copy's of the files that they are looking for in those directory's but I think it is better to just let them get an error page which links back to the index page & sitemap. mine has all sorts of links from it and advertising!

Actually, its not the same thing. When firefox looks for favicon.gif, it isn't pulling the page through the browser, it is pulling the icon for the tabs, favorites and the address bar icon.
So to stop that file from showing up in your stats, simply create the gif version of your ico file and upload it to the directory where the error is coming from.
