We make a call to refresh the desktop icons during installation as most if not all installers that add shortcuts do. Chances are your OS had a glitch when this call was made. Try rebooting your system to see if it comes back.

Downloaded latest version from mozilla.com and could not reproduce bug. It may be more of an OS issue in this case.
