Periodically, the icon used to mark Firefox html files on my computer goes away.

To restore it I have to uninstall/reinstall Firefox or do a full registry restore. Can you tell my why this happens and how to fix it?

Instead of looking line image1 (attached), it looks like image2 (attached).

If you are using Windows, maybe your icon cache is too small. When I was using Windows, I had to make it bigger. The icon cache could also be corrupted. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/rebuild-the-icon-cache-windows

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Flash Player Version 18.0.0.160

I tried both your suggestions and neither worked. I now only have one version of flash. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and the problem went away. However, it will be back and there must be a better way to solve the problem than uninstalling/reinstalling firefox every time.
