After latest Firefox upgrade the cute Firefox icon no longer appears in my dock. Some sort of generic page with ???? Very hard to recognize now. Can I somehow get the old icon back? Using Mac with OS High Sierra 10.13.5. Thanks.

See this thread for the pencil icon on Mac, a reinstall might work:

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

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.
