But if you mean Firefox icon on your desktop (Shortcut), you can do the following to change the icon: 1- right click on the shortcut whose icon you want to change. Then, select Properties. 2- In the Shortcut tab, click on the “Change Icon” button. 3- The Change Icon window opens. there you have a list with some of the icons that are found in Windows. simply choose the one you want.

Hope this solution is what you are looking for.

You may have to reinstall Firefox to get this fixed. Your personal data like bookmarks is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose personal data when you reinstall or update Firefox, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

Try these suggestions if you have a problem with the Firefox icon in the Dock.

  • delete the Firefox icon from the Dock
  • create a new icon by dragging the Firefox application to the Dock
  • reinstall Firefox
