So Google has updated their favicon again.  Now you may want to updates Firefox’s Google search bar because it has the old Google favicon. Now you have to do this manually so you will have browse to Firefox directory in windows. Now some of you may this is going to take some more time out of your day to do this   but here’s some relief.

You can update the Firefox’s default Google search plugin to show the new Google search icon:

1. Download this updated version of the Google search plugin. (Right click >> Save Link As)
2. Copy it to your searchplugins folder in your Firefox install folder  (typically C:Program FilesMozilla Firefox on Windows), and overwrite the existing google.xml file.
3. Save the file and restart Firefox.

Now you have the current favicon and can rest.

You do not need to do this anymore, since the latest version of Firefox will have this fix.  Thanks.
