To Whom It May Concern,
I serve on a steering group for the Workstation edition of the Fedora community Linux distribution. To fix and enhance the edition's coherent appearance, group members are working on coverage of our applications' symbolic icon set. We're doing this in partnership with the GNOME project upstream.
The Firefox icon that appears in place of a symbolic icon is currently the full color logo. However, that appearance is inconsistent with the other symbolic icons in the environment. Symbolic icons are used in a few specific locations in the desktop environment, such as the top-most application menu, to align with the overall visual theme of the environment.
You can find information on these symbolic icons here: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/icons-and-artwork.html#custom-symbolic-icons
You can also see a set of symbolic icons used in upstream GNOME here: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic/tree/master/gnome/scalable
We seek permission to create and package a Firefox symbolic icon, subject to Mozilla approval, to include in Fedora Workstation.
