Thanks Sylvain, I'll check it out.
Parparita's version uses the chrome: protocol to inject the orange RSS
icon, ie this:
chrome://browser/skin/page-livemarks.png
But not the image when you're subscribed--I think it's a giant checkmark.
Parparita is able to use that chrome: protocol because that orange RSS
icon ships with Firefox and is already available in your browser. The
other's aren't.
In theory, I could start shipping separate images with the extension,
and use the chrome: call to stop breaking SSL, but I haven't tested
this so I'm not sure it will work in practice. It's worth checking
into, and I will. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Yep, that I was aware of--it's on the Known Issues list. If I do
modify the extension structure to support local image files, I'll be
able to fix that, too. It would be a worthwhile change. Thanks.
