Firefox bookmarks toolbar, now with favicons

[b.rudge]

I've made two themes based on Firefox 2's default theme for Mac OS X that show the favicons in bookmarks toolbar. They're waiting for editor's approval on addons.mozilla.org, but I'll email to you them here if you're too anxious. PM me your email address.

Mac Favicon theme

Firefox 2's default theme for Mac OS X, but with favicons enabled in the bookmarks toolbar!

There is a variation of my this theme called; Mac Favicon XL.

Could be useful to use in conjunction with Favicon Picker (When it becomes available for Firefox 2).

Mac Favicon XL
Firefox 2's default theme for Mac OS X, but with Xtra Large favicon's and no text in the bookmarks toolbar!

This is a variation of my other theme; Mac Favicon.

Mac Favicon XL works best with favicons of 32x32px, (see image). Therefore it is powerful to use in conjunction with Favicon Picker (When it becomes available for Firefox 2).

Installation instructions

1. PM me your email address, so that I can email it to you
2. update Firefox to Firefox 2.0 if you haven't already
3. go Tools > Add ons in Firefox
4. click and drag the .jar file you downloaded into the Add ons window.
5. wait for 3 seconds
6. click install
7. click on the Themes tab
8. click on the new theme
9. click 'Use Theme'
10. restart firefox
11. check it out!

Let me know if you have any problems with them. I've tested them both on Firefox 2.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.8.

I don't know what PM means but ...

I'd love to get the XL theme! I've REALLY missed my favicons since going mac. My email is design @ manisheriar.com.

Thank you!!!
