Under older versions of windows you will get an ugly windows icon instead of the default Firefox one. This is a bug in Firefox but there is a fix.

You can change Firefox's default window icon to any icon you want, by following these simple steps:
  1. Go to the folder you installed Firefox in (e.g. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ ) and then go to the subfolder chrome.
  2. While in chrome, create a new subfolder called icons, then go to that folder and create yet another subfolder called default. The full path to this folder could be C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\icons\default\
  3. Choose the icon you want to use, on Windows use .ico files, and then place it in this folder and rename it to main-window.ico.
    [/list=1]
    This process can applied on any OS if you wish to use a different icon. I have attached a default icon as a .zip file.

I upgraded to Windows 98se with Unofficial Service Pack 1.5, it gave me 2000's pretty icons and colour scheme. Pity I can't have its shadowed mouse cursor :(
