[Bug 1407192] Re: firefox icon frequently replaced by placeholder

 

I get exactly this.  The icons affected are: Thunderbird, Firefox,
BibleTime, Calibre, and occasionally, other ones.  The problem never
occurs on the first launch of a particular program, but frequently on
the second use of the same program during a session.  After re-boot, all
icons are restored.  Running 15.04 - up-to-date daily.

Title:
  firefox icon frequently replaced by placeholder

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Several times over the last week I have noticed that the when I start firefox, the default icon is replaced by a grey square with a question mark in the center as shown in the attached image.
  The only fix I've found is to unlock firefox from the launcher, quit the program, search for "firefox" in the dash, manually drag the icon onto the launcher, and then open it(i.e. if I start firefox directly from the dash, the grey icon appears on the launcher again).
  I haven't noticed this occurring with any other program.
