Yeah, probably some pre-made desktop icon for it. You could always make
your own desktop shortcut for it.

I'm a Gnome user, but usualy most of these icons grab the image they use
from a directory like "/usr/share/pixmaps". Try a "locate share |grep
mozilla" and you should see a lot of image files used as icons.

For those that don't know, "piping" = "|" and "grep" are something you
should become familar with. To pipe something is to take the output from
one program/command and send it as input to another. "grep/egrep" is a
pattern searching utility, very useful.

So above I asked the locate database to find any matches to "share" then
sent the results to grep which narrowed it by finding matches with
"mozilla".

It's fairly easy to make your own icon if you can't find one you like.
Usually they are pgn files of some set size like 40x40,48x48, etc. Use
GIMP to edit some image you find and save it. Then edit your shortcut to
use it.
