[Solved]Can't change Firefox icon (Gnome3)

I tried a couple of times to change the the Firefox icon in the dash screen without success!

There's a tool called "menu-editor" where it offers me to edit the starters of GNOME, but even though this shows me the desired icon, Gnome does not!

Restarting shell (ALT+R) or restarting the computer doesn't help either!

I also searched for the icon-file and tried to exchange it, but probably I didn't find the right one!

Anyone can help?

Edit /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop with a text editor. Look near the bottom for the icon entry.

Thanks! Thought I had tried that before, but obviously not ;-)
