No longer functions. Icons reset every time you restart your computer. Worked great for years, but now it's time to find something new. |

I could not get this to work, but I do not know why. I had a site bookmarked and open. I clicked on this extension and then chose Change Favicon, selected an image, and opened it. The icon on the tab changed, but not the one on the bookmarks bar. When I clicked on the bookmark In the bookmarks bar, the icon reverted to the previous one. I tried another favicon changer, and it was very straightforward, beginning with browse for an image. I would give this one star, but I suspect that I was doing something wrong. Having said that, I used an obvious navigation in the extension and nothing happened. |
