Safari icon

Downloaded and installed security update 2013-001 for os10.6.8. This had Safari 5.1.8 bundled with it. The application works but the icon in the Dock and in the Application folder is not the usual Safari compass but an unattractive generic application icon. Doesn't really matter, just not pretty to look at in Dock. Delete and start using Firefox? Anyone else found this? Apple's subtle way of saying move on?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Tim,

That problem can usually be corrected by restarting your computer.

What I did in the end was to download a Safafi (or Safari like) icon from a site that offers various free options. I the went through the "Get Info" performance but this time I "cut' the new icon (rather than 'copy') and that ungreyed the paste option and allowed the new icon to take up residence!

Maybe I just got lucky but worth a try.

Good luck
