Hey,
So the issue here is that firefox in ubuntu is the snap package, most likely the same for visual studio as by default ubuntu use snap to install applications (through the GUI).
To fix it, several solutions:

1. reinstall the applications using flatpak or repository
2. Make a copy of the desktop file from the snap applications in $HOME/share/applications and change icon name, with the terminal it will look like this:
   Go to the snap folder containing .desktop file
   cd /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/
   List all the file existing there
   ls
   Make a copy of the file of your application
   cp file_name.desktop $HOME/.local/share/applications/
   ex for firefox: cp firefox_firefox.desktop $HOME/.local/share/applications/ the file name for visual studio code is something like code_code.desktop
   Then change the icon name in the newly created copy
   cd $HOME/.local/share/applications
xdg-open file_name.desktop
   Finally in the text editor that will open, change the line that state
   Icon=some_strange_path.svg
   with Icon=name_from_the_theme (ex: firefox for firefox and com.visualstudio.code for studio code)

Icons should be updated after a few seconds, if not logout and in or restart the computer 😉

See video below that might be a little better to follow instructions
