Hi,
a few years ago, I created an addon to change the windows icons of Firefox (main_window, Downloads, Places, …). Some context at the end of the post, if needed.
The addon is now flagged as legacy (on Quantum), and I need help as I really don’t know where to start to update it !
The addon hierarchy is exactly like that, no other files:
[chrome]
[icons]
[default]
devtools-toolbox-window.ico
devtools-webconsole.ico
JSConsoleWindow.ico
main-window.ico
places.ico
viewSource.ico
install.rdf
(LICENSE+README)
My “install.rdf” looks like a standard one. It has type=2, unpack=true (req. for icon files), multiprocessCompatible=true.
It doesn’t really matter that windows inside the same firefox profile may be changed, I’m using the same icon for all windows anyway, but I really need each FF profile to display its own windows icon.
What should I do to upgrade this add-on ? Or what’s the new way of doing this ?
Thanks !
Context: I wrote this addon because I’m heavily using Firefox Profiles (via firefox -p -no-remote). I have 20+ of them and rarely less than two running at the same time, each with one or several windows.
To avoid my taskbar being filled by only foxes, the addon allows for example to have an enveloppe for my “mail” profile, a TV icon for my “streaming/videos” profile, and so on. When I want to open a mailbox, I know I have to search for the enveloppe icon, not read all the FF icons.
BTW, would that be possible now to adapt the browser main_window icon to reflect the website’s favicon ? I know it was impossible before (too OS-tied IIRC). But that would be cool.
