I am very new at this so my question may sound obvious.  When i try to download an icon for my object bar my computer (firefox) will ask me with what program should firefox open with.  It gives me two options, windows explorer (default) Or other.  Do i open with object bar program? If so, how?

I just save them first.
If they come zipped, then I unzip them and put them where I want them.

got a link to a specific one in question?

I downloaded the icon and saved it. I guess the question is how do i transfer does icon to the object bar? Or at least where the object bar can see what i downloaded?

object dock uses .ico or .png
if you have a shorcut you want to change the pic on, right click on the shortcut > dock entry properties > change image = browse to what you downloaded

object bar uses .ico or .bmp - right click on one, browse, browse to what you downloaded
