Project Name

My Favicons Extension (Custicon)

Project Description

An extension to allow the user to pick his/her own favicons for sites, based on a URL regexp. The image should get stored as part of the user’s profile, so that it doesn’t have to live in the same place on the user’s disk. Ideally, it should also be possible to export the regexp -> icon mapping as a regexp -> data URI mapping that can be imported into another profile.

Project Details

v0.1 goal(s):

-make the Favicon image right-clickable.


v0.2 goal(s):

-integrate access to extension into Tools menu and contentArea (webpage right-click) menu

i.e.:(the above is just a workaround since the 0.1 goal proved to be quite complicated).

v0.3 goal(s):

- Allow the user to load favicon's for specific web paths, through the use of Open/Load/Save dialog boxes.

Project News

-Extension skeleton completed i.e.:(makes a pop-up alert box. Rest of code commented out to stop crashing)

File:Custicon.xpi


-This version (v.02.9) installs correctly, and has the first part of the UI working. (just the bkgrnd doesn't)

Custicon@andrew.raynier.xpi


Working Releases:

-Finally, I have here my v0.3.5 release that actually lets you load up your own favicons! (and save them in history for the most part). Jut unzip this .zip file directly into your extension folder (make sure it's file folders are in a folder named "Custicon@andrew.raynier"), and it will automatically be installed and ready to use for that Firefox profile.
