There are two options you can choose:

To change the icon path in the desktop file (recommended)

1. Go to /usr/share/applications/;
2. Go to the desktop file Firefox;
3. Open the file with your favourite text editor;
4. Find Icon=... and modify it with one of three alternatives: Icon=firefox or Icon=firefox-20 or Icon=firefox-mozilla. Save it.

To create the symlink

Run the command:

# It depends on where you have installed Suru++ Ubuntu icons theme
cd ~/.icons/Suru++-Ubuntu/apps/scalable`
cd /usr/share/icons/Suru++-Ubuntu/apps/scalable`

# Choose one of your favourite icon:
ln -sfnr firefox-20.svg firefox.svg
ln -sfnr firefox-mozilla.svg firefox.svg

To revert to the original, you need to copy the original firefox.svg from the folder alternatives at the repository, to the folder Suru++-Ubuntu/apps/scalable.
