Startpage search plugin shows Pale Moon icon
So the other day I added the Startpage.com - English search plugin, and in the list it shows Pale Moon's icon. Why? Shouldn't it be Startpage's icon?

Anybody else using the Startpage search plugin, do you also have the Pale Moon icon?

Re: Startpage search plugin shows Pale Moon icon
I can confirm that there is something not right about the icon shown for Startpage plugin, but in my case, there is no icon at all.

I installed the StartPage search plugin a while ago, at least a year or two ago, and their icon displayed.

Re: Startpage search plugin shows Pale Moon icon
I must have got my Startpage plugin from somewhere else? So I now installed the plugin from the official Search Plugins page, and then copied the icon data from the startpagecom---english.xml file and found that it is the Pale Moon icon.

My StartPage search engine has the Startpage logo. I've attached it below.

Re: Startpage search plugin shows Pale Moon icon
I just checked the file on the add-ons server, and it doesn't actually include base64 data; instead it just links to a URL (https://www.startpage.com/assets/images/logo-16x16.png) -- unfortunately that URL is a 404, so that's probably why it's been replaced by the Pale Moon logo as a "default" favicon.
I'll see if I can include the startpage icon as base64 in the XML instead.
EDIT: the XML has been updated
