IdentFavIcon is a Firefox extension that will use identicons to automatically generate favicons for sites without one.

IdentFavIcon is based on the idea of Don Park called identicon to generate visually pleasing and easily recognizable icons from identifiers, such as IP addresses. This extension replaces the default favicon for web pages without one with a visually pleasing identicon, which is unique for each domain. The extension uses the CRC-32 code of the web page's domain name to seed the identicon renderer.

Requirements:

· Mozilla Firefox
