Application Search Engines
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Firefox defines various application search engines that are shipped to users.
|
|
|
|
The extensions for the definitions of these engines live in
|
|
:searchfox:`browser/components/search/extensions <browser/components/search/extensions>`
|

Icon Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
It is preferred that each engine is shipped with a ``.ico`` file with two sizes
|
|
of image contained within the file:
|
|
|
|
* 16 x 16 pixels
|
|
* 32 x 32 pixels
|
|
|
|
Some engines also have icons in
|
|
:searchfox:`browser/components/topsites/content/tippytop <browser/components/topsites/content/tippytop>`.
|
|
For these engines, there are two sizes depending on the subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
* ``favicons/``: 32 x 32 pixels
|
|
* ``images/``: preferred minimum of 192 x 192 pixels
|
|
|
|
Updating Icons
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To update icons for application search engines:
|
|
|
|
* Place the new icon file in the :searchfox:`folder associated with the search engine <browser/components/search/extensions>`.
|
|
* Increase the version number in the associated manifest file. This ensures
|
|
that the add-on manager properly updates the engine.
|
|
* Be aware that the :searchfox:`allowed-dupes.mn file <browser/installer/allowed-dupes.mn>`
|
|
lists some icons that are intended as duplicates.
|
|
|
|
To update icons for tippytop:
|
|
|
|
* Place the new icon file in :searchfox:`both the sub-folders within the tippytop directory <browser/components/topsites/content/tippytop>`.
