fbug - issue #4822

larger icons for use in Firefox 4+


Posted on Sep 7, 2011 by Swift Horse

Current Firebug icon is 32x32, yet Firefox 4+ allows using 48x48 images for extension icons, and also supports 64x64 icon on details view.

A larger icon would make Firebug look better in list of extensions.

Steps to reproduce * Open addon manager, see Firebug's icon.

Observed result * Icon is 32x32 on both list and details view.

Expected result * 48x48 icon in the list view, 64x64 in details view.

Scaled down from official logo icons with a little sharpening are attached.

I am not sure scaled down 64x64 icon will look fine when Firefox will scale it down to 48x48. That is why I added both icons - you can save as simply icon.png and icon64.png at the root of extension (which will also make them visible when Firebug is disabled) or state as IconURL and Icon64URL, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/install_manifests#iconURL

Thanks for the hint, but the down-scaled 64x64 icon looks fine to me. As soon as we release 1.9.0a2 you can test it and tell me, if I should really add the 48x48 icon, too.
