Firefox 59.0.1 (64-bit) Firefox icon on desktop changes to abnormal size 128px, whereas it was 48px. This changes seems happen after one of countless Firefox updates. When right click on icon, there is 'Resize Icon' option, it add guidelines around icon, but it not allow to resize. What is simple method to resize icon without a lot of manipulations or reinstalling application?
GNOME Flashback session.

Perhaps just deleting the icon and making a new one might do the trick.

Already tried this, not help. Deleted, then copied firefox app into the Desktop, but same effect: huge 128px icon, which is completely useless.

you could use gimp to scale it but firefox should have a 48x48 icon, you could try to copy it
mkdir -p ~/.icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
cp -v /usr/lib/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default48.png
~/.icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/firefox.png
see firefox for linux from mozilla
thought it could be a gnome bug
