normally I have a fox round the globe symbol. This has been replaced by a couple of sheets of paper and two pens and a ruler symbol.

Hi lmmillard,

I've seen this happen periodically, but it's pretty easy to fix. Just delete the icon from your dock. Then recreate it by dragging the Firefox icon into the doc from the applications folder.

Hopefully this helps!
