    How can I reset a desktop icon to default on Windows 10?


    So I changed the firefox icon a while ago and I want to change it back to the default. I changed it by searching for "Firefox" in start, right-clicking and clicking "Open File Location", then right-clicking and clicking "Properties", going to "Shortcut" and changing the icon. Is there a way to change it back to the default firefox icon?
