[edgy] Firefox applications icon inconsistent.

[Scott Robinson]

The official icon is used in the .desktop file / application launchers / etc. This is correct as per the recent update and announcement on ubuntu-devel.

However, once the program is running, the unofficial globe icon is used for the application icon.

This seems to be an inconsistency.

[Luka Renko (lure)]

Confirmed

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

This minor change should be rolled into the first firefox update for edgy. The trouble is that debian/rules overrides the icon provided; if that code is removed then this should work correctly now (the icon has been patched back in)

[jvargas (vargas)]

Confirmed @ Edgy.

Still not fixed in Edgy as of 19th November. I'm not a programmer - can anyone patch this?

It's trivial to fix, but we aren't going to release an update to a stable
release only for a cosmetic bug. It will be rolled into the first
bugfix/security update we do.

Great! I wasn't sure if there had been any updates for Firefox yet. Thanks for the swift response!

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Kees, was this rolled into USN-381-1? If not, please issue a further update with this change.

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Matt, the USN-381-1 update refers 1.5 version, not 2.0 (edgy).

[Kees Cook (kees)]

Matt, Jonh is correct, USN-381-1 is only for the 1.5 (non-edgy) series. When the 2.0 updates happen, we'll be sure to get this change in. Does anyone have the desired patch handy?

No, but I think that it should be as simple as removing a few lines from
debian/rules so that the icons aren't clobbered. I believe the relevant
code is in the install target:

        cp -a debian/firefox.xpm \
                debian/firefox/usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.xpm
        cp -f debian/firefox.xpm \
                debian/firefox/usr/share/firefox/icons/default.xpm
        cp -f debian/firefox.xpm \
                debian/firefox/usr/share/firefox/icons/mozicon50.xpm
        cp -f debian/firefox-small.xpm \
                debian/firefox/usr/share/firefox/icons/mozicon16.xpm
        cp -a debian/firefox.xpm \
                debian/firefox/$(SHARE_DIR)/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm

The source tree is already patched at build time to restore the upstream
icons, and they should be installed properly already.

this affects also thunderbird isn't?

And what about feisty? Can it be posted with trademarked icon on the taskbar?

This is a separate issue; Thunderbird doesn't use the official branding at
all yet, I don't think.

no?
The desktop icon is the official one and it is different from the icon inside thunderbird

[Bloodypriest (jeanmichel-gilbert)]

As of December 3, Firefox 2.0 in Edgy does not exhibit this problem. However, in Thunderbird case, neither the .desktop icon nor the icon inside the application are using the official artwork; only the ugly brownish letter icon. This is Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 (20061115) from edgy.

[Bloodypriest (jeanmichel-gilbert)]

Forget what I said. I confused the .desktop icons with the application launchers. In the Human theme, Firefox still has some icons exhibiting blue globes (for instance, the HTML document icon).

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

Thunderbird is an entirely separate issue; rejecting that task from this bug. Feel free to file a separate bug about official branding in Thunderbird, but that has not yet been discussed with Mozilla.

Please only use this bug report to discuss the inconsistent icons in Firefox.

Can't this bug be solved on Feisty? There isn't any problem on having an update since it is in development.

Yes, it certainly can.

And would it be solved? If it is possible, why not do it now?

It simply hasn't been done yet, as evidenced by the fact that this bug
remains open. Thanks for your interest in this bug report, but it is a
cosmetic problem, and thus is not an urgent priority relative to other bugs
in Ubuntu. It should be dealt with when the Firefox package is next updated
in Feisty.

Until then, please keep commentary in this bug report to a minimum. The
problem is already well understood and no further discussion is necessary.

firefox 2.0.0.1 is out, there is the possibility to fix this bug also for Edgy.
Don't want to bother just remembered :)

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Yes, here you can get it (as mozilla.org hasn't been updated yet).

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.1/

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Fixed on repos

Good job!

[Kees Cook (kees)]

Edgy's update was done as part of USN-398-1
