FireFox Bookmarks Bar

PapaBigFace · 04-22-2006, 11:45 PM

In Firefox you can have a few of your bookmarks in a little bar (most of you know what I mean), I want to know if there is a way to change the little icon next to the Bookmark.....I have included a picture for reference to what im talking about.

I believe that it is site dependant so you cannot change it (at least easily anyway).

If you look in your bookmarks.html file, every bookmark has a metadata tag that looks like this:

Code:

ICON="data:image/x-icon;base64,

If you copy everything from after that comma to the ending double-quote and stick it in here, you can decode the image. I've tried this and it works. Encoding another image and replacing it with the existing code shouldn't be all that hard.
