Favicon Switcher ruma Saber
Review by Daniel Beardsmore
Rated 5 out of 5
ruma Daniel Beardsmore, fyrir 5 árum síðanThis is one feature that I did not imagine would ever work again in Firefox (after the death of Bookmark Favicon Changer, which does not even work in Waterfox). I specifically wanted to set bookmark icons, which is possible with this add-on so long as you first erase the affected URL from history (for anything that is in a bookmark it stands to reason that you would not object to any effects this may have on Firefox’s ranking for that URL in type-to-find). The ability to replace the icon for a whole site is interesting too, as it combats sites with no icon or a confusing icon (something I also deal with).
The only thing that I would note is that using only regular expressions does complicate it: I would default to substring prefix and allow regular expressions as an optional extra (preferably per-entry) to avoid the need to apply escapes unexpectedly. (As it happens I do know regex, but most folk using this surely won’t have a clue what they are.)
Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma mbit, fyrir 8 mánuðum síðanupdate (to ff130) just in time, thanks. its a very usefull add-on for my work.
i have the same webapp on two diferent servers an it works perfect for me.
but.. i cant find a "buy-a-coffee-button" - Rated 1 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 15469623, fyrir 9 mánuðum síðanno star option? Could not get to function at all. Telling note from dev " so if you've bookmarked the page before, this extension won't be able to change it. " Huh?? then why bother? Moot, since it doesn't work even on a new bookmark.

- Rated 2 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 15743637, fyrir ári síðanIt almost doubled my RAM usage with just one tab! Can't recommend.

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma kailinu, fyrir ári síðanI have many Google Documents pinned in my browser and all their icons are the same non-descript, beside saying it's a Google document. Since I've installed this add-on, I have a different favicon for each of the document I have pinned. Productivity: increased. Mission: accomplished.

- Rated 3 out of 5ruma Herman Blume, fyrir ári síðanTried multiple times to get this to cooperate with bookmarks, which is all I need an extension like this for. No dice. Tried with multiple sites that have never been bookmarked, real ones, fake ones, etc.
This isn't really on the dev, it's Mozilla's adamant refusal to allow users to modify icons that's at fault. - Rated 5 out of 5ruma Rob Easton, fyrir 2 árum síðanInstalled 5 minutes ago, couldn't be happier, easy to install, and fun. But also useful, I had two icons for new tabs that I visit daily for work, I was able to change Jetstream to a SOQL icon as I use it for Salesforce and I changed Trello to their own, obvious, Trello icon. Recently switched to firefox for primary work and these kinds of extensions are helping make the switch even better.
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 18056723, fyrir 2 árum síðanVery nice addon! Thanks a lot. I used it to change the favicons of my pinned Nextcloud taps. I downloaded the favicon.ico for nextcloud calendar from github - and used the following URL-pattern: https://nextcloud..../apps/calendar/* I just drag and dropped the downloaded *.ico file to the small window when asked. :-)
- Rated 2 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 18021095, fyrir 2 árum síðanSome time after a website is loaded, the custom icon will be displayed. However, when firefox is closed, it does not work anymore.

- Rated 1 out of 5ruma bulldogpunch, fyrir 2 árum síðanIt does change the icon of any tab with the target URL, however it doesn't change the bookmark icon. Which is what I wanted. If this extension had worked in the past, it seems it no longer works now. Bummer.
- Rated 1 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 10326646, fyrir 2 árum síðanIf this app doesn't work on Bookmarks, just where does this thing have any utility? Useless.
- Rated 2 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 12794095, fyrir 2 árum síðanWith the help of this add-on, the new icons will only appear on the tabs. Unfortunately, exactly where it would be desirable, namely in the bookmarks menu or on the bookmarks toolbar, the old icons still appear.
- Rated 1 out of 5ruma t3pfaffe, fyrir 2 árum síðanNo longer changes the favicons for the bookmark menu. All of my changed favicons have reverted back to their originals in the bookmarks toolbar.
