all files now have firefox icon
Not sure why, but for some reason almost every icon on my desktop now has a firefox logo on it, except program executable icons. This includes pdf files, jpg files, folder shortcuts. Also when I open a folder, and change the view to medium icons, every file in that folder, no matter what type shows a firefox logo. These desktop icons were not created in or by firefox and are not website shortcuts. Windows Vista

Try to rebuild the Windows icon cache.
- Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
- In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
- Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
- Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
- Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
- After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
That worked! Thanks! Any idea how I messed that up? It doesn't even really seem to be firefox related.
You're welcome.
I don't know how the icon cache got corrupted, but we've seen more reports that that cache can get corrupted.
