Display favicons in context menu without relying on external providers

Is it possible to add the sites favicon to the context menu search list?

Unfortunately, neither the WebExtension API for bookmarks nor contextmenus support favicons currently. I'll revisit this when support is added.

As per Firefox 56 this is fixed at the browser.contextmenus API, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1321544.

However, the favicons aren't exposed in the browser.bookmarks API. I'm looking in to a "dumb" solution where the extension assumes the website has a /favicon.ico at the root level.

If it works, this functionality won't be released until Firefox 56 to not break the extensions for earlier Firefoxes.

Temporary solution for users of Firefox 56 and above is implemented. Awaiting a solution to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616
