That other apps have distracting icons is not an excuse for others to do
the same. Before today, simply deleting the content of the default icons
directory allowed the use of the original mostly teal icon. As of today,
doing that brings up a new default icon of mostly the all red Mozilla
dinosaur head. IOW, deleting the icons causes a bigger expanse of red in
the upper left corner than the almost trivial amount of red in the
supplied icons.
