The history of chess set design is very interesting (in my opinion) we wrote something on the origin of the Staunton pattern here which readers might find interesting

In a nutshell, we found that it (Staunton pattern) was designed following the already standard book symbols in use at that time.

On a technical level: In Firefox the new icon on the "top sites" screen doesn't fill the available space as it did before. When using Firefox to create an icon on the launcher/homescreen the corners of the icon are very pixelated, like it's corrupt. In Firefox history the icon looks like a leaf.
On a personal level: It's round. Knights are not normally round. Is it supposed to represent a knight in a wheelchair? A fat knight? It's horrible.

I love it however the background color needs to be transparent and not white, it looks not very neat in my bookmark tab see photo to see what i mean as compared to other sites, make it look modern and stylish but yet simple.
