Why has my icon changed to an A on my Mac dashboard and how do I get the original back?

The Firefox icon (fox /earth) which has been on my Mac's Dashboard forever has changed to a stylized "A" made up of a ruler pencil and brush. I know not why. I would like to revert to the original. Why has this happened and how can I go back. I'm using version 9.0.1 on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8.

Hi bitoruf,

I've seen this happen periodically, but it's pretty easy to fix. Just delete the icon from your dock. Then recreate it by dragging the Firefox icon into the doc from the applications folder.

Hopefully this helps!
