Hello, the logo of Firefox does change after some years. If you have updated your browser after a long time then you should see the updated new logo. But it has a slight difference with the previous ones.

Do you still see the logo of Firefox or the logo is changed completely? Please reply. It will help me a lot if you can attach screenshot of the current logo. To take screenshot press 'printscrn' button on your keypad. Open 'MS Paint' > Paste it there. Save and then send.

I am talking about my desktop icon, It is a white rectangle with the right corner turned down and a picture of a browser window in the middle plus an arrow. When i click it firefox opens up and has the regular logo displayed in the middle, the blue ball with the fox on it.

My desktop icons are not blank. The desktop icon for firefox was always the blue ball with the fox on it. Just recently it was changed not by me and I cannot change it back.

You could still give it a try and delete the IconCache.db file.
