Thanks, G.  Yep, that is apparently the path the TBB desktop file 
(start-tor-browser.desktop) points for the icon.
/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/browser/icons/mozicon128.png.
As said, it worked, then it didn't.

I just edited the desktop launcher &  re-selected the same icon (was 
already using - the one you mentioned).  For now it's displaying OK in 
the panel.
Looks like that icon file was changed in the update to 6.5.2.  Maybe the 
previous file got damaged, so Linux pulled the standard Fx icon from 
another place.   I'm not sure the orange Fx icon is included in the 
Linux TBB package.
