That's the problem, then.

Interesting. Mine is in several places:
$ locate default256.png
/snap/firefox/2800/default256.png
/snap/firefox/2850/default256.png
/usr/lib/thunderbird/chrome/icons/default/default256.png
Maybe my system needs a clean-up in aisle 9.

And my panel isn't aware of that, so no image is displayed for the
icon.

Thank you, but I'd rather bring it to the attention of the powers
that be and let them take care of it once and for all.
