[20:56] <shpandy> Hi
[20:57] <fossfreedom> o/
[20:57] <shpandy> Hey foss
[20:58] <shpandy> Can you help me?
[20:59] <fossfreedom> sure - will try - depends on the question
[20:59] <shpandy> I am trying to get firefox on the app list in the top left, currently it only opens when I type firefox in to a terminal
[20:59] <shpandy> when it does open it does so with a grey box
[20:59] <shpandy> rather than logo
[20:59] <fossfreedom> how did you install firefox?
[21:00] <shpandy> Downloaded from the website, extracted the file and sent it to /usr/bin
[21:00] <fossfreedom> k - that is your issue.
[21:01] <fossfreedom> why did you download and install directly rather than from the repos?
[21:01] <shpandy> I followed the first link after I googled 'how to install firefox' :D
[21:01] <fossfreedom> sudo apt install firefox
[21:02] <shpandy> see... that would have been my first guess
[21:02] <shpandy> but I wansn't confident it would work
[21:02] <shpandy> and now I have shamed my family for six generation
[21:02] <fossfreedom> lol
[21:03] <shpandy> any tips on how to remove my previous download? or do I just go in and scoop it out with rm firefox when in usr/bin
[21:04] <fossfreedom> not really sure - I've never installed directly
[21:04] <shpandy> my add-ons are still there
[21:05] <shpandy> when I open using the new link
[21:05] <fossfreedom> addons would be stored in your local firefox profile - not system wide
[21:06] <shpandy> when I open firefox in the terminal now it comes with the logo
[21:06] <shpandy> has it maybe just improved the direct download I had started?
[21:07] <fossfreedom> firefox from the repos is correctly patched to display stuff like logos correctly.
[21:08] <shpandy> So it probably deleted all the old files ?
[21:08] <shpandy> the ones I had previously installed
[21:10] <fossfreedom> possibly - as I said I've never installed directly so I've no idea how the installer scatters the files around.
[21:11] <shpandy>  :D okaay, it seems to be working fine so I will leave it alone
