after the upgrade the firefox icon in the dock is not used anymore, the application starts but the icon on the dock doesn't work. i've tryed removing the icon and adding it again (the same icon i use to start the application) but nothing happends.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade
2. start the application
Actual Results:  
icon in the dock doesn't work

Expected Results:  
the icon should bounce than you could use it to close the application or simply to select its window.

on mac i experience some problems every time i upgrade (last time on tiger when upgrading to 3.5) , maybe something with preferences files.
