How do I change the Firefox 23.0 icon back to the old one?
- Download the Firefox 22.0 release binary from one of these locations:
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/22.0/mac/en-GB/
- ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/22.0/mac/en-GB/
- Double-click to mount the
Firefox 22.0.dmg
file. - Copy the icons using Terminal:
cd /Volumes/Firefox/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/
cp document.icns firefox.icns /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/
- Reboot.
Note: If you want to do the copy from Finder, you'll need to right-click on the Firefox.app
icon in the mounted dmg file and select "show package contents" then using a separate Finder window do the same thing for /Applications/Firefox.app
, then change into Contents/Resources
in both windows and copy the files across.
- On each of the Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 apps, right click and select "Get Info".
- In each information windows that pops up, unlock the lock at the lower right (click, and enter admin credentials when prompted).
- In the Firefox 22 information window, click on the small Firefox icon at the upper left and and type Cmd+C.
- In the Firefox 23 information window, click the small icon at the upper left and and type Cmd+V.
