Bug#893323: firefox: broken-symlink /usr/lib/firefox/browser/icons -> ../../../share/firefox/browser/icons

[Paul Wise]

Package: firefox
Version: 59.0.1-1
Severity: minor
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: broken-symlink adequate

There is a broken symlink in the firefox package. The same symlink is
present in firefox-esr but is not broken in that package. It does not
seem to cause any issues so this bug is filed at minor severity.
