Hi,
we need to perform a few updates on searchplugins in the next cycles.

*Firefox for Android*
The change just landed on mozilla-central, the plan is to uplift it also
to Aurora in the next days
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8cc1612b1b45

The new icons are 96x96 PNGs.

This is the tracking bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179109

As you can see, we have assets (icons) for Amazon, DuckDuckGo,
Wikipedia, Yahoo in the changeset.

1) If you want to update your searchplugins with the new images, you can
go ahead but *reference bug 1179109 in your commit message,* and *add a
link to the changesets in the bug*. Only update Amazon, DDG, Wikipedia,
Yahoo (if they're available in your locale) and only /mobile.

2) If you want to update other searchplugins, please file a bug, attach
a patch and set me as reviewer.

Since eBay is available in several locales, I'll send an email out
trying to get the asset directly from them and update both mailing list
and bug with instructions.

3) I'll update all remaining locales in the next weeks, so no need to
worry if you don't work directly on Mercurial. Not sure how many icons
I'll be able to get and how fast.

If you want to go ahead and start contacting the extra providers for
your locale (excluding eBay), it would be great as it would make my life
a lot easier :-)
In general it would be good to ask for icons up to 128px or 256px, in
case we need more updates in the future.

*Switch AMAZON to SSL**
*This hasn't landed yet, it's just a heads-up. It will involve both
Desktop and Android.

Tracking bug is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1179332

I'll update the list as soon as it lands and I'll have more information.

As usual, don't hesitate to ask if you have any doubt.

Francesco
