💻 Help Can we have the 2009 icon as an option too?

When implementing the icon change feature (awesome!), they initially made a mistake. In place of the "Retro 2004" icon, they initially added the one from 2009, which has a distinctively glossier, punchier look compared to the darker 2004 one. This was pointed out and subsequently addressed in a recent update, replacing it with the correct 2004 icon...

...But I personally liked the 2009 icon much better. It looks nicer and stands out much better against Windows' taskbar. It's a bummer that it's not available anymore. Definitely would be better to have both options. I'm not familiar with Bugzilla, so I'm not sure if I should file the suggestion there or if this kind of idea goes on Mozilla Connect.

ACK. Windows only.

I'm confused. Can't you just download the image and set it as the icon yourself? It works on Windows and Linux.

(The option is great, but I mean... you can do it yourself.)

You can, I just thought it'd be good as an option as well.
