It would be nice if the "current" language was remembered once set through the soft-keyboard, making the voice input icon in the URL bar truly a shortcut. > * when typing in the URL bar only the favicons of available > search engines are displayed.

Or do they internally sniff your Accept-Language and redirect? If the former, then we'd need to differentiate icons in some way. I'm sure Jeff Beatty and others in the l10n team have considered this. If the latter, then perhaps we need to coalesce all icons for a single engine, since they will all do the same thing anyway. > > Wondering - could I improve any of this by some configuration > or writing an extension? > I am not aware of easily modified configuration here.
