Home screen bookmarks icon change on firefox upgrade
Whenever FF upgrades bookmark icons on my home screen revert to the FF default. Can this behavior be prevented? If not, is there a simple way, short of replacing the bookmark, to return the desktop bookmark to the one specified by the web pag?

I understand that after an update that the saved shortcuts on your home screen go to the default webpages. However are the icons changing or are the webpages changing?
Icons are changing. Bookmark url remain the same (I.e. are unaffected).

I take it that no one knows why desktop bookmarks are changing to the FF icon with "Firefox" caption when app is upgraded?
Sorry, the icon, not the actual page that is opening up. My apologies for not understanding. I added an attachment to my test for the homepage icon. It is on the second row. The icon for addons.mozilla.org did not change when I updated to 33 from the Google play store. If I may ask, is there a website that we may be able to test with, and what kind of device/android version is this happening on?
thank you
This is a known issue, however we don't have any way to reproduce this issue. Any chance you uninstalled and re-installed Firefox?
http://www.tvpassport.com/tvgrid.shtml is one url that exhibits the problem. On the latest update I notice that both the icon and caption changed - caption became "Firefox". This particular bookmark is on the app dock.
Happens on Samsung Galaxy Tab II 10.1", GPT5113. Android 4.2.2. Also on HTC One S, ville. Android 4.1.1.
Other url displaying problem http://m.swisschalet.com/mobile/, http://thaioneon.com/mobile/. These are in a folder on the desktop.
