Favicons for mail.com and aol.com not working

By X-ann , 21 May 2015

This just started with the aol.com favicon.  The mail.com favicon hasn't been working for a while.  Please advise if this is a glitch in your system or if there is something I can do to restore the favicons.  Thank you.

Mail.com script was last updated 3-16-2015... did  you update yours?

You can see the script date if you go to X-Notifier, Options... and click the Scripts button.

My last updated script for mail.com was 3-11-2015.  I fixed it and it works now.  What about AOL.com though?  I didn't see the script available and it was working yesterday.  Thank you.

AOL is embedded within the X-Notifier add-on... so it will take a new release of X-Notifier to update it.

When I noticed the getIconURL function was missing in the embedded AOL script, I knew the solution was simple. But I couldn't find the favicon.ico at www.aol.com. Perhaps only available after login?

<code>
function getIconURL() {
   return "https://s.aolcdn.com/cdn.mail.aol.com/webmail/150508.1316/aol/en-us/images/favicon.ico"
}
</code>

Now I realize I should have looked at the network traffic (in developer tool). That way I found an alternative location:
https://my.screenname.aol.com/favicon.ico

Thanks,
CFBancroft

P.S.

If you can NOT wait for Tobwithu to update Mail.com script, I will give you secret how to update it.

You open mail.com.js
look for

function getIconURL(){
  return "http://s.uicdn.com/mailint/5.856.0/assets/favicon.ico";

BOLD that is new one, and change current date and save it.

Click on options on X-notifier and click on Scripts, then click Add Then choose mail.com that you saved recently.

So you will enjoy new Favicon on Mail.com
