The icon for my firefox has changed to look something like text edit. If I click on it, firefox comes up ok. How can I change the icon back to the firefox icon ? I do not understand how it changed in the first place. Thanks

If the above doesn't work then try to reinstall Firefox and drag the current Firefox application to the trash.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (61.0) in all languages and all operating systems here:

There is an easy fix for that.

  1. For changing app icon on Mac, you’ll need to access Applications folder, then select any App for which you wish to change the icon.
  2. Right-click the app and select “Get Info” or select the application and press CMD+I
  3. Within the application info view, select the defined icon (upper left corner) by clicking on it and just press backspace to delete it and set back to default one.
