    Firefox Icon os Generic


    Weird. Just notice that my firefox 3.5.3, the actual icon is generic, not the firefox icon. I had just did a clean install + downloaded a new copy of firefox. Anyone know how to fix this. Thanks or did I miss somewhere that firefox is not compatible to windows 7?

    FF is very compatible with W7 ... just change the icon if you dont like the default one... And Welcome to the forums!!

    Thanks for the welcoming. I go to the actual folder for firefox and the icon looks generic, i guess i need to re-install firefox. Thanks

    Maybe the default program feature in Windows 7 didnt take properly. Check the general tab in options to make sure that FF is set as default browser.

    right-click the taskbar icon and goto properties>open file location. Is the file there generic too? is that the FF.exe (executible) or is it another icon file?
