After a recent migration of everything from an old PC to a new one, the Firefox logo does not appear in any of the HTML file icons on my new computer. They are all blank.

It apparently a problem unique to Firefox, and only involves the display of the Firefox logo. Although the icon is blank, when it is clicked, the document is opened by Firefox.

If I right-click on a blank HTML document icon and select "Properties", to the right of "Opens with:" is the Firefox logo. If I then click "OK", the Firefox logo remains in the "Properties" window, but the icon remains blank.

If I click on "Change", select "Microsoft Edge" and click "OK", the "Microsoft Edge" logo appears to the right of "Opens with:", and the HTML document icon also displays the Microsoft Edge logo.

There is a similar result when I select "Google Chrome", "Internet Explorer", or even "Notepad". The corresponding logo appears in the HTML document icons.

Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

Find an HTML file using the file explorer. Right-click on it and select Properties. Under General, select Open With and choose Firefox.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried this before, and it doesn't solve the problem.

Is Firefox set as the default browser as that should automatically apply the Firefox icon to a desktop shortcut ?

Make sure Firefox is set correctly as the default browser.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Firefox is already set as my default browser.
