Since some time around December 2004 (according to the ChangeLog on the spec file), Fedora has been shipping a default.xpm logo that is some what uglier than the official logo. I'm not sure why it was introduced (firefox.xpm in the spec), but the screenshot attached shows that the official branded xpm distributed with the source tarball (mozilla/other-licenses/branding/firefox/default.xpm) is much nicer. In the spec file, instead of: %{__cp} %{SOURCE23} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{ffdir}/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm %{__cp} %{SOURCE23} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{ffdir}/icons/default.xpm We should copy the xpm out of mozilla/other-licenses/branding/firefox in the source.

Sorry if I'm hi-jacking your bug, but the thunderbird icon is even uglier, just a default X icon, at least someone posted a workaround ... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177823
Fedora is really slow at fixing small bugs. That's why many of us just stop reporting them.
Fedora is really fast at fixing many bugs, but there are several serious and high-profile problem spots. "Anything related to Firefox" is unfortunately one of those spots.
This was actually fixed a bit ago.
