Huge browser window icons in TWM

A recent update means that all my browser window icons are a quarter-screen tall, and some are wider than my nice big new monitor - the biggest is 2058x276 pixels !
I have had this problem before; at one level the problem is that I use an ancient window manager - twm.
I had a solution - https://support.mozilla.org/questions/950850#answer-428414 - overriding the default association between WM_CLASS and icon in my ~/.tmwrc but now the icons have lost their WM_CLASS.
Turns out my association for firefox was case-incorrect and something has stopped doing caseless matches. My first thoughts are recent security updates to libxml and expat. Anyway, spelling firefox in lower case has returned the icons to my sensible size.
