Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Win32, enhancement)

Description

[Speedy Kepke]

Attachment: FF_PDF-icon.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0

Steps to reproduce:

I've updated Firefox 72.02 to Firefox 73.0 and now in these version there is an ugly PDF-icon, see my example see below.
How can I change this ugly icon as before?

In the meanwhile I have also cleared the cache, uninstall Firefox,
deleted the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) and restarted system.
Thereafter I've runned Windows Disk Cleanup and re-install Firefox.
But the problem is not solved with all these actions = the ugly PDF icon Firefox in the explorer remains!

Thanks a lot for your co-operations

That's the icon for a file type associated with Firefox. There's nothing to fix here. I don't think there's any chance the file type icon would be switched to the same one as the application icon either, but that's not up to me to decide.
