Ozy is my Firefox

Since Ozy is a fire-breathing fox I thought it would be funny to make him my Mozzila Firefox icon. It's pretty cheap, I know, but maybe I can do something more Ozy-ish. Any ideas?
I was also thinking to add Millie's duck floating on the planets water, and a Windmill in orbit but I don't know if there's much space for that.

Thank you all.
Jelly: I found a picture of the Firefox alone turned it to gray scale (in "the Gimp")and drew a hat on it. I put the planet on a different layer behind it then flattened and saved it as a .ico(Microsoft Windows icon).
Then I go to my desktop and right-click the icon I want to change select properties> click change icon (on shortcut tab)>select the icon file where it was saved.
Does that help?
I got really tired of boring manila folders so I wanted to change some of my icons.

That makes me smile. Maybe I should draw spots on one for myself...

That looks great. I wouldn't bother with the duckie and windmill, keep it simple.

Pardon my French but...that is really kickass. I should have made that connection way earlier since Firefox is the only browser I'll ever use. Sweetness. Thanks for doing that.

I'm not sure if this is a little too off topic but has anyone else heard the news that Netscape will soon be no more? This bums me out since I used Netscape a lot before I started using Firefox. I still use Netscape on my computer at work as a matter of fact. I guess I'm also concerned that Firefox may be next on the chopping block. I sure hope not.

Now, why would that be? Unlike Netscape, its source is available so anyone can pick it up and continue to develop it.

True...you'll have to excuse. I've kinda developed an unhealthy paranoia that Internet Explorer is trying to bring about the destruction of all other web browsers. Oh like there have't been stranger conspiracies dreamt up here. Anywho...long live Firefox.

It would be interesting to see an O&M-styled Firefox theme, though that would involve quite a bit of work.

KJ Fellie: I'm glad I could make you smile and that someone wants to customize their icons now too

.
Jack Ravendawn: I guess it would deviate from the original Firefox icon too much with all that stuff.
nsNWright79:

Thank you very much. Long live Firefox.
Holyman83:Ty.
dantheman: That would be. Now I'm wondering what the buttons and loading image would look like.
If anyone wants this little file, I think I can send it through email or something, just pm me.
