Of course I tried all this on my 10.2 before asking you the Qs so all I 
can say that it isn't FF zapping the icons on you. Not much of a help I 
know but it does indicate that the answer lies not in FF.

Didn't someone suggest a while back when confronted with a hassle in kde 
to delete the ./kde dir (after backing it up of course) in your /home 
and let it rebuild itself? But before doing this better wait for this to 
be confirmed and don't take my word for it :-) .

Cheers.
