Interesting... I'm in linux now, but can you right click on it and see if the option to open with is there. If so, select Firefox and if there make default.

Got it... In windows now... Open Windows Explorer, go to your desktop, and look at the files in detailed view. Then you can right click on the shortcut with no icon, then open with, and then click Firefox. I was trying to get a screenshot, but snip tool go BOOM.

Your screenshot shows that it's already associated with Firefox. Now just right click on the icon, click properties, and then click on the tab Web Document. Then you should see the button to change the icon and then browse to the Firefox directory. see screenshot
