I changed my FireFox icon to one I found online, and then created another
shortcut to it on the destkop. I deleted the new shortcut, and then deleted
it in the recycle bin. But it still shows on the desktop. Any suggestions on
how i can get it to go away? thanks.

Hello,

You can also right click your desktop and click Refresh. It gets rid
of those ghost shortcuts to.

That may work.

If it does not, just reboot. It should no longer be there.
At least, that is what happens here.
