I'm sorry I can't explain better, if you understood me I'll be happy... thanks anyway...

First of all, thank you for this cool and useful tutorial. I made for my studies a new folder and I pimped the icon with my study's logo. When I use my Finder in list-form, the logo is very little so there is no problem of quality, but I placed a shortcut in my Dock and as you can see on the picture below, the quality is not what I expected... The screenshot: http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/8466/capturedcran20090924231.png Now, what can I do to have a high quality icon? (the icon I dragged like you explain in the tutorial above, was a high quality icon, so that's not the problem...) Thanks for answering my question! ADB Hello!

It looks like FireFox only gives write privileges to whatever user installed it. It is read-only for other admins. All you have to do is highlight FireFox, get info, open the area at the bottom for "Sharing and Permissions," Unlock the padlock, enter your password, and change admin access to Read & Write. @Ben, I ran into this problem, too.
