The search provider's favicon_url pointed at zavage-software.com, so Firefox downloaded the icon from our server whenever it installed or updated the engine. That contradicted the privacy policy's "Nothing is reported to Zavage Software", would break if the site moved, and blocks a future MV3 move, which requires a packaged favicon. Without favicon_url, Firefox uses the manifest icons instead (AddonSearchEngine#initFromManifest). The remote file was byte-identical to icons/powered-by-openai-icon-48x48.png, so the artwork is unchanged. Closes #20 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. See commit-and-tag-version.
Unreleased
- Use the extension's bundled icon for the ChatGPT search engine. Firefox no longer downloads it from zavage-software.com when installing or updating the engine. The artwork is unchanged.
[1.2.0] (2026-10-18)
The first update on addons.mozilla.org since 1.0. It also delivers everything in 1.1.0, which was never published there.
- Add an Ask ChatGPT toolbar button: use selected text or open a blank chat, honoring saved prompt and tab/window preferences. No new permissions. Requires Firefox 112 or newer, like the other new entry points.
- Add Off / Simple / Advanced context-menu modes with migration from the old visibility preference. Advanced provides selection presets and link/page URL actions, with optional translation and a preferred language or language dialog.
- Preserve dedicated action instructions when shortening selections; ask before sending shortened text and reject URLs that cannot be sent intact.
- Stay responsive with very large selections from the shortcut or toolbar: only the part that can fit in the ChatGPT link is processed.
- Add accessible action dialogs with cancellation and retry, remove the temporary model/effort URL probe, and document URL sharing. No new permissions.
- Show up front, in the options panel and README, that ChatGPT may require signing in and that an unsent prompt needs Enter or Send.
- Limit the prompt template to 1,000 characters, so an oversized template can no longer stop every other setting from saving.
- Show the configured keyboard shortcut in the options instructions, updating when it changes and indicating when none is assigned, with a button to open Firefox’s shortcut editor where supported.
- Shorten the context menu label to “Ask ChatGPT”.
- Add quick usage instructions and guidance for changing the search keyword and default engine in Firefox to the options panel.
- Add a “Feedback or report a bug” link to the options panel and README.
[1.1.0] (2026-07-30)
Adds an options panel and two new ways to reach ChatGPT.
- Options panel in
about:addonswith five settings: context menu visibility, temporary chat, web-search hint, where results open, and a prompt template. - Right-click selected text and choose "Ask ChatGPT" to open ChatGPT with that text filled in.
- Keyboard shortcut
Alt+Shift+Gdoes the same for the current selection, and opens an empty chat when nothing is selected. Rebindable via Manage Extension Shortcuts. - Documented that ChatGPT no longer submits prompts passed in a URL, so a second Enter is needed. This is an upstream change to chatgpt.com.
gpt <query>address-bar search is unchanged.- The options panel, right-click item, and keyboard shortcut require Firefox
112 or newer. Older versions keep the
gpt <query>search unchanged. - Permissions added: storage, menus, activeTab. None of them adds a line to Firefox's install prompt.
[1.0.0] (2024-06-09)
First release of software.
- favicon - Wanted to use the OpenAI ChatGPT icon but worried about copyright. Without granted permission, have to roll with this icon. (Powered by OpenAI!)
- Adds ChatGPT as non-default search engine. Queryable by "gpt <search_query>" in user's URL bar. Can configure through browser settings.
