Hi, i'm Tiago. The Nightly icon doesn't appear on GNOME 3. I used the Ubuntu, and there all works fine. But now, i using Debian with GNOME 3, and after extract the .tar and create the "Nightly.desktop(Necessary to pin the icon on menu)", the icon doesn't appear(Look the screenshot below). But too, i'm not get set Nightly my default browser. then so are bugs? I have to report? What i can do? Thankful for support, and sorry for my bad english

Does this also happen with the Firefox Developer Edition (Aurora channel)?

Did you try to right-click that item to see if you can point to the correct location for the icon?

Yes, i try it this, but the result is same. In GNOME 3 is not possible see that configuration with the right click, is necessary create a ".desktop" file in /usr/share/applications to see the icon on the GNOME Menu and pin on Favorites. So, follow the my "nightly.desktop": IN IMAGE ANNEX BELOW So, this is a bug? I Will have to report? Thankful NOTE: I'm using the Debian Stable(8) with GNOME 3.14

What kind of icon size is used by other applications compared to the Firefox icon?

I've seen cases in the past that the icon didn't appear for some reason and suddenly appeared after resizing the icon. I don't know if you can still resize the icon this way (it used to be in the right-click context menu of a desktop icon).

I think I'll use it anyway, because it's just a bug aesthetics. I would use the FF stable if he had the system of multiple processes, but this is only in the Nightly. Thank you for trying to help me

Happen with Aurora too. I think that is a bug on Graphical Interface, most specific on GNOME 3. I'm go to test the Slackware and i hope that no have bug there. Thanks, for support

Sorry, for my english. I'm make this answer with myself, so, conjugation errors are possible.

I'm close to the solution, i tried to use the icon of iceweasel, and now works fine with icon both Aurora and the Nightly. So, only remains discover where stay the icons. I go to make a question to Debian's Developers. Thanks for your support.
