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).

File:Custicon.xpi


v0.3 goal(s):

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

- v0.3.?+

 This latest release doesn't add much to the front end, since content preference saving is still being coded in,
 but there is a a nice chunk of comments added for development-friendliness, as well as a few reworked functions,
 which are being tweaked to improve performance and readability when I implement the preference saving and editing.
(this still needs to be manually pasted into the extension folder. If someone would tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'll be happy to learn.)
