Launcher icon missing, red "X" displayed instead

Could you look for the firefox launcher in .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers and note what Icon= it's using?

gegl-00f5d4bf75.desktop:Icon=mozilla-firefox.png

Interesting. So it says firefox.png in the properties, but it's actually
using (the non-existent) mozilla-firefox.png?

I'm not sure why the icon is correct in the edition dialog, I suspect that the actual bug is that firefox launcher used to have Icon=mozilla-firefox.png and updates don't change the user configuration, firefox should probably create a compatibility symlink, opening a firefox task too

Matt, could you attach the desktop to the bug?

I have noticed this on firefox upgrades before but stopped seeing it on gutsy after tribe2 this maybe a regression but opening up preferences from the icon than closing this should reset it. I see this more commonly during a firefox upgrade that changes/edits/modifies icon.

Assignedt o mozilla-bugs so Alexander can take a look at it,

ok, the compatibility link will be added in one of the next uploads ...

Thanks,

Current firefox now ships /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.png -> ../firefox/icons/mozicon50.png, so this was fixed properly in firefox itself.
