I don't seem to be getting it. Installed paulfox' .xpi (link above) and nothing happens - favs don't change. Also, when looking under page info/media, favicon.ico is (are) listed but not displayed, blank preview panel.
Any help? TIA.

Can you add an option to override the default live bookmark icon

Issues:
-Some themes not compatible
-Favicons do not save (at all) when browser is closed therefore they all have to be re-assigned.
-Needs drag and drop support instead of just save favicon then browse for it and assign it.

How do I get favicon picker 0.3.0 for FF 1.5 to work with windows 2000Pro? I downloaded the extension but it is a .xpi file which I can't do anything with .

Just open that file in Firefox. All extensions are kept in .xpi files.

I'd like to have integrated support for the PlainOldFavorites extension, so that FavIconPicker will work on IE's favorites as well as FF's bookmarks.

With PlainOldFavorites, FF uses IE's Favorites, so I don't need to use bookmarks at all. In that way, both IE/FF are always synced with the same Favorites. You can add, edit and delete sites in either browser, and the list will always be up to date. If FavIcon Picker can't be made to work with Favorites, then I guess I'll have to make all icon changes in Windows Explorer or IE directly.

To make FavIcon Picker 0.3.1 compatible with Firefox 1.5.0.1 or 1.6, do the following.

Change the .xpi extension to .zip. Unzip the file to a temporary folder. Open the .rdf file in notepad. Change maxversion from 1.5 to 1.6. Save the file. Zip the file and the other files and folders of this extension. Name it favicon_picker-0.3.1. Make sure there are no spaces in the name. Change the .zip extension to .xpi. Install in Firefox. That's it!

Tried to install and was told it only worked on versions 1.0.0 thru 1.0.5 and I'm using 1.0.7.

Please advise.

Disregard my last post- I didn't realize that I didn't have the latest version of Firefox installed

When you manually edit the install.rdf file to change the maxVersion, be sure you change maxVersion. Some fields (parameters) have similar numbers. Sometimes people mistake version for maxVersion.

MaxVersion is the highest version of firefox that the extension will support.
Version is the version number of the extension.

The MaxVersion is the part that must be changed for compatibility.

If you like, you can change version also, but this is optional. There are two different ways to do this.

1. Append .1 to the end of the version. Instead of FavIcon Picker 0.3.1, you'd have 0.3.1.1.
2. Increase the version number. Instead of 0.3.1, you'd have 0.3.2.

However, if someone increases the version and then forgets, there's a good chance they won't know when the next actual update pops up. And there's really no point whatsoever in the end users increasing the extension version number just because they're bumping the maxVersion themselves. None. Even if it's just for cosmetic purposes when they post their extension lists to others, or something (as stupid as that sounds, I do know people who do that sort of thing), it's not as if someone who cared couldn't tell just by seeing a non-1.5 extension installed in a 1.5 profile (and, if they didn't know about that much, they probably wouldn't know about the version number either anyway).

Thank you. I never considered that and will go to my extension store and edit all my revised extensions.

I use FF since few weeks; since that date, i have installed the Favicon Picker extension to modify the favicons using the properties of the bookmarks.
To work in French, i have added the French locale to the version 0.3.0 of dbMorris. 8-)

To do it, i have only created a clone in French of en-US directory. I have updated the chrome.manifest and install.rdf. I have added a defaults\preferences\prefs.js file and updated the faviconpicker.properties file for the extension description.

You can find this version with en-US and fr-FR locales doing a right clic here with IE (not FF !) on this link : http://www.chez.com/ktvmenet/Favicon_Picker_0.3.0FR.xpi

I have just discovered that there are others functions than using the properties of the bookmarks. From the EM, the Options on Favicon Picker gives functionnalities that are not included in the locale files; all is in the coding. I have not touched to that.

If the Favicon Picker extension evolves, can this new version include the French locale ?
