What controls the icon size in Firefox 24.7.0 under Linux RHEL 6.5? The icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ don't seem to apply.
The icon on the desktop is huge (probably 256x256) when iconifying an active Firefox window. Size has varied from one version to the next previously too, but now it is so big that it is useless. What governs this? The icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/firefox.png do not seem to matter, or indeed to be read at startup. Is the default icon embedded in some binary now? I am using fvwm as window manager. Screenshot of problem here: http://www.wikne.no/gif/firefox-support.jpg Package installed is firefox-24.7.0-1.el6_5.x86_64

Now I tried dealing with the problem using the mechanisms of the fvwm window manager. I inserted the following line in its configuration file: Style "firefox" IconOverride, Icon firefox.xpm The .xpm-file is a reasonably sized Firefox icon in the fvwm icon directory.. Guess what? With this, it was possible (experimentally) to get _another_ program to use the Firefox icon, but _not_ firefox itself! Firefox still insisted on using the hippopotamus-size, somehow builtin icon! I am very close now to abandoning Firefox alltogether because of this sh*t!
Hi jwikne, Quickest answer would be emailing the ESR mailing list: https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise
