I'm using Linux Mint and trying to customize the Firefox icon. I navigated to /usr/share/applications to modify firefox.desktop, but I encountered a permission denied error when trying to save my changes. Is using 'chmod +x' the right approach? Additionally, I have a new icon saved in ~/.local/share/icons. Do I need to specify the full path of the icon in the desktop file, or can I just use the image name?

There’s a handy app called Main Menu in the software center. It lets you change launcher icons, launch parameters, and more, all without needing to mess with the terminal!
If you're using Cinnamon, there's actually a GUI tool you can use for this! Just make sure you have root permissions when editing files in /usr/. You might need to authenticate to save any changes if you're an admin.
To edit files in folders outside of your home directory, you'll need to access them with elevated privileges. Just copying the desktop file to ~/.local worked for me. Once I did that, I could change it without any issues!
