You have been subscribed to a public bug: It's my understanding that the path to the image used for the Firefox shortcut icon changes as part of a Snap refresh. KDE is having trouble with that. I've been told that there might be a Snap call needed to update some icon cache specifically for KDE. I've also been told that there may be a stale, outdated KDE cache that needs attention. As a result, it was recommended that I create a KDE and a Snap bug report. Here it is:
I use Kubuntu 22.04 LTS and I put a shortcut to Firefox on my panel (taskbar) by right-clicking the Firefox entry in my K menu and choosing "Add to Panel (Widget)" from the context menu. When Snap pops up the reminder on screen every so often to tell me I need to update it, I close Firefox and run the sudo snap refresh firefox command. Afterwards, the Firefox widget shortcut on the panel sometimes continues to work without incident. Other times, however, it suffers a rather dramatic cosmetic change by vanishing from sight while still existing. When this happens, the invisible shortcut still takes up the same amount of space on the panel, is still clickable, and still works (it creates what appears to be a gap on the panel). This never happens immediately during or right after the update, but always occurs either later that day (during the same Kubuntu session) or when I boot up the next day. My work-around is to delete the invisible Firefox shortcut from the panel and recreate it from the K menu the same way I originally did. It then looks and works fine until the next time an update makes it vanish. Two final things I'd like to note are: * The icon in the Firefox entry in the K menu never disappears when this happens. * I'm only seeing the behavior in a Firefox widget shortcut on the panel. I haven't tested putting a Firefox shortcut onto the desktop or pinning a Firefox shortcut to the Task Manager. I'd be happy to test both of those if you'd like.
