Notes ubuntu12.04 How to add the launcher icon (to resolve the issue of the launcher icon disappearing)

Os:ubuntu Linux 12.04

I manually updated the Firefox browser the other day (see http://www.cnblogs.com/yzsatcnblogs/p/4266985.html), but then when I opened the browser, there was no Firefox icon on the launcher. This allows us to no longer open the minimized browser ...  Nor can you quickly open the browser. So I learned how to add an icon to the launcher and change the icon pattern. summarized here.

(1) Click on the gear mark in the upper right corner. Select "Launch Application"

(2) Click "Add" in the pop-up window.

(3) In the Add Launcher window,

"Name" column, you can fill Mozilla Firefox;

"Command" section, browse to the executable "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox";

"Note" There, you can fill out the Firefox browser;

Click "Add"

(4) OK, now you can drag the icon to the start panel on the left.

(5) Then, modify the icon pattern

(6) in terminal input: cd/usr/share/applications

(7) Re-input: sudo vim firefox.desktop

(8) Find the icon line in VI and modify the icon's path to the location of the image in the Firefox folder you installed. Then save and exit:

My path is/usr/lib/firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png, everyone should be very similar.

(9) ok! Reboot, or log out of the system to see if the icon on the launcher appears! Oh, haha, finished.
