GitHub File Icon for Firefox

If you browse GitHub often, you’ve probably noticed that the files in each repository don’t really stand out from one another because they all use the same icon, which can make them rather difficult to identify.

GitHub File Icon for Firefox is an extension that seeks to offer a solution to this issue, providing you with unique icons for each file type and improving the appearance of GitHub project pages.

Installing a new icon pack can sometimes be a complicated affair, but this extension makes the process as simple as possible.

With a couple of mouse clicks, the add-on will be installed, and the new icons will be available whenever you visit a GitHub project page.

Not being able to tell the difference between one file and another at a glance can be an issue, and this extension makes it a thing of the past. Each file type will have a unique icon that sets it apart, so you will be able to locate the item you need much more easily.

We found the new icons to be very well designed, and certainly a big improvement compared to GitHub’s default look. Naturally, though, they may not be to everyone’s taste, so make sure to check the screenshot before trying out the extension.

In the end, GitHub File Icon is a relatively simple extension that can make it a lot easier to browse GitHub repositories and find what you need, while also improving the website’s appearance.

The add-on is remarkably simple to set up, as you don’t need to configure anything, so it should be ready to go in a matter of seconds. What’s more, if Firefox isn’t your browser of choice, a Chrome version is also available.
