Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I started natty with the alpha and upgraded it trough beta to rc. Used chromium all the time, with rc i decide to install firefox, but it has no icon in the unity launcher when running.
.
ii firefox 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla
ii firefox-globalmenu 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 Unity appmenu integration for Firefox

I tried to reinstall firefox but it did not fix the situation. The bug is: If firefox was removed and reinstalled, it lacks his icon.

The chromium icon start firefox, so i pull the chromium icon from the launcher. One login later firefox got his icon back, think there is a quirk between the chromium and firefox package.

Is there a work around? It's been a year with no icon even though multiple firefox updates.
Is the above suggesting I have to install chrome to get an icon into firefox? I don't have chrome currently.

Presumably this issue was resolved some time ago and this bug report can now be closed. I'm changing the status to "Incomplete" to allow this report to expire in the absence of any further comments.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
