This Extensions installs several ico files in the chrome\icons\default Directory
of Mozilla Firefox so it shows the Firefox Icon insteadt the Windows Logo Icon.

This extension is for Win9x Users only, because only Win95, Win98 and WinME have
this bug. Win2k and WinXP displays the icon correctly.

I tested this extension only under Firefox 1.0 Final, but other versions should
be compatible too.

Simon, can you raise a bug on the Firefox installer?

Some install.js should address this problem so that it
works out-of-the-box. Maybe your Extension could be
improved to change the icons at any time subsequent to install?

(nice extension)

> iosart: can you test this?

Worked for me under Win98SE (now the icons appear correctly). Nice :)
Doesn't appear in the extension manager when installing and after browser
restart (lack of install.rdf). Might be confusing for the user. Then again, as
long as it does what it says it does...
