Research direction

The payload names no source files. Start by reproducing the bug: install FFUpdater, hide it, and open Launcher Settings, then Manage hidden icons. Find the screen that lists hidden apps and check how it loads each app's icon, looking for a case where FFUpdater's icon fails to resolve. Done means FFUpdater's icon shows in that list and the fix works for other affected apps too. The thread has seven comments and no recorded decision, so ask a maintainer about the intended fix first.
