I used Resource Hacker but I can't find the icons that Firefox uses in their toolbars.
I want to make an icon to remind me of something.

They're probably in a DLL associated with the application. A lot of applications that "internationalize" use resource-only DLLs for icons, dialogs, strings etc.
Thanks, I will look in dlls.

Andy,
Mozilla has many not-so-standard features. But if you need an icon for your private use, screenshots are an easy option ;-)
I looked thru every dll, but nada.
I made an icon, I just want to substitute it for one that firefox uses.
I did a search and found an addon.
What search did not show is where fox stores their toolbar icons. ??
I would have to make an icon for the whole set in firefox, then put them all in a grid, and so on.
There has to be some way to replace a single icon in firefox.
Andy
Google for chrome://branding/content icon
there is probably a firefox add-in that allows you add icons
i know they have different themes that do it - so, it can't be impossible
Dave,
You may want to re-read my post.
I know those icons are somewhere.
Maybe Firefox has them encrypted and are decrypted at run time. :t

Here... give this a try .... http://findicons.com/search/firefox
ohhhh - you are trying to go the other way
mozilla may not store it in resource - it may not actually be an ms icon, either
Check omni.ja file, which is a zip format.

I saw the PK signature in the file but....
Neither 7zip or Winace can uncompress it.

Try IZARC on it... http://www.izarc.org/ ... it opens almost everything you throw at it.
(I'm guessing it's probably a renamed .cab file)
There is some info about it here.
Firefox used to be pretty good about letting customers customize, but I am wondering now.

Izarc installed 2 crap tool bars without my permission.
And the program didn't even install.

I changed omni.ja with the PK sig with no effect.
I will try another angle.
Is there a program that would show what FF loads on startup ?
i usually rename them to *.zip and open them :P
as for finding icons...
find an image you like and tell me the size(s) you want and the bit depth
i can make icons for you
google
image search
search tools
size - icon
search for "reminder icon"

Take control of your software... *always* do custom insallations.... you can opt out of that and I'm betting it did install, look in your start menu.
Installed just fine for me -- no toolbars no problems-- on win7 x64 with sp1.
Super Dave,
You don't understand.
I want to add MY icon that I have made to the toolbar in Firefox.
I frequently make my own icons.
For some reason, Mozilla chose to put most of their icons in a non-standard compressed format.
It doesn't seem efficient to have to uncompress a file every time your program runs in order load them up.
Here is a pic.
