If you have enjoyed using Torisugari 's favicon picker in Firefox 1.0 through 1.0.6 like I have,

and find that it has not worked as well since migrating to DeerPark or Firefox Beta1

<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Bookmarks&numpg=50&id=325&page=comments&pageid=1" target="_blank" class="postlink">(prior version 0.2.6 is found here) </a>, then this version 0.3.0 may help resolve your issues.



Extension version 0.3.0 will only work with Firefox 1.5 BETA or later .



Please continue to use the author's original extension for the Firefox 1.0.x releases

<a href="http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=617&hl=favicon" target="_blank" class="postlink">(prior version 0.2.5 is found here) </a>.



Usage:

To modify a bookmark entry or favorites toolbar entry, right-mouse-click on entry and

select Properties . You will see an icon image, ERASE , and BROWSE buttons

added. Selecting ERASE will set the entry back to the default icon and BROWSE will let

you navigate to assign an icon file for the entry. When done, clicking OK will accept the changes

into your saved bookmarks and CANCEL will abort your session back to Firefox.



Background Info:

With faviconpicker 0.2.6 I have been unsuccessful in clicking on bookmark menu entries or favorite

bookmarks to modify the default icon (either to erase or modify). I pointed this out to the author back

in June and again recently when I began to examine/modify his faviconpicker.js code. I have been

attempting to reach Torisugari by email, spreadfirefox, and mozillaZine for quite some time now with

no responses from him, so I took the liberty of generating this newer version and invite the author

to acknowledge or contribute when he so choses.



This extension is a collaboration between myself and Firefox contributor mook . Mook's

understanding of the Firefox code base has been invaluable as the two of us diagnosed the code and

came up with this update.



In order to maintain the author's original code design, this extension update contains some generic

un-elegant workarounds that we put in. I have been using it now for some time with a variety of

extensions (see my tag line for my extensions) with no issues. Besides repairing the icon

right-mouse properties usage, we put in some memory checks, cleaned up the source so it looks better

for printing/maintaining, made an EM icon, and bumped the version from 0.2.6 to 0.3.0 .



Going forward, mook nor I have the time to be able to take ownership for longterm extension support -

so we'll be hoping it can become a true community effort should further enhancements be needed. This

assumes of course the original author continues to be unavailable or that the author returns to take on

support for his extension as he sees fit.



I'm not sure how to promote the extension into the various extension mirrors -

if someone could help get the word out to post this extension, that would be great.
