Help, suddenly, the mozilla firefox icon on my computer has turned all blurry and scattered. I've tried reinstalling to no avail.

ne help is appreciated.

Is this only happening on the Firefox icon?
It looks a bit like a low quality GIF image...

yeh, its only happened to firefox

Yes, I must say I looks like a 256Colour image, but if you were in 256 colours, all your icons would be dieing.

Have you changed system wide colours in Display Properties?

Was that after you tried out FireTune?


That icon is a the low quality 16 color version.

Each professional program (well, most of them) has several icons inside their resources. Each icon is of another quality and is used depending on your system settings. Eg: a 24bit alhpa channel, full color icon isn't going to work on a 16 color screen, therefore a 16 color icons is included in the executable....

Iether you probably beeped up your firefox executable (so it can't display the correct icon anymore). This can only be fixed by removing and reinstalling firefox. But since you say you tried that out already:

Or for some reason and if you're lucky, only the wrong icon is choosen, nothing more. This can be fixed, as buqingzi already said, by right clicking on it, choosing properties and changing the icon used to display the shortcut.

Try changing the display quality to another setting, see if the problem goes away. You can then change it back. That may help.
