1137415 - Better Search Engine icons for shipping with iOS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Alexander :nalexander [he/him]]

The icons embeded in the opensearch plugin files are pretty rough.  For example, DDG's favicon is much, much crisper than ours.  Can we get some 2x and 3x iconography?

This could be a good mentor ticket: a contributor could find hi-res favicons or other iconography for all of our search plugins, and then update the data: URIs at, for example

It can look pretty bad having the search engine icon next to history result favicons in the search panel; I'm not sure what do about that, save for using hi-res favicons if we can, and using the favicons for the search engine results as well.

Just remember that we need to get some approval, even from the partners for any images we ship. Looping Kev in here just so he is aware.

Per bug 1156917, we're going to update the current white-bg search icons with the 'chiclet' versions for both mobile platforms. Attaching shortly.

Should we remove the grey vertical dividers in the quick-search bar with these icons? Probably will look cleaner...

Also, just me or is the wikipedia icon cut off and the yahoo one empty in that zip?

No contributors have picked this up, so I'll go ahead and make the changes.

Double checking is the Amazon/Wikipedia supposed to be black filled?

Yep, I believe these were the ones we had approved.
