FYI: The icons for firefox in FC4 standard install are not the original icons from mozilla.
Does anyone know why? Is it a theme/look issue?
It appears to be a version slip in the way the package was put together. (Check the funny business for yourself
right now: under View > Toolbars > Customize ] This is discussed in other places on the net, including a fedora bugzilla post
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=138986 and even a certain other distro (ubuntu)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=13685 The idea may have been to keep the same icons between Nautilus and Firefox, but I found it distracting. Changing the theme didn't seem to help me.
Please post if you know a more elegant way than the below fix!
HOW TO FIX FC4 Firefox Icons:
disclaimer, I have Firefox 1.0.7 .. BUT this should work for 1.0.4 also. (Check your version: Help > About Firefox) Replace the number in the directory name in step 3 with your version of Firefox, ie /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/chrome
Line 3 in step 4 is optional, included just to be safe.
1) Download the original classic.jar for Firefox
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=115660
---remember where you saved it, I'll say /home/myuser/~mydir~/classic.jar
2) You need to close Firefox, so either write down or cut & paste Step 4 (for example, in gedit: Applications > Accessories > Text Editor)
3) close Firefox
4) open a terminal
Code:
% su -
% cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/chrome/
% mv classic.jar classic.jar-orig
% cp /home/myuser/~mydir~/classic.jar .
The last line has a period at the end. (Important.)
5) Restart Firefox
Wow the orig icons (especially the bookmark icons) look much better.
