Are all icons being generated here square?

I tried this issue on the latest Master M-C build. It appears that every app that I search for, then adding to homescreen will have a squared icon. When adding apps from collections however, will display rounded icons. I've attached a screenshot showing the issue.

UX - This isn't intentional, right? I thought we had VD requirements that required these icons to be round.

All our icons should be round, yes. If necessary I can confirm with Marketplace that we enforce this with app developers.

Can you verify that these are apps added from rocketbar, or the existing homescreen search bar? We've recently disabled rocketbar for 1.4, so I'm wondering if it's a regression of the homescreen, or lack of implementation from rocketbar. Thanks! - Turns out we disabled rocketbar on 2/22, and the last m-c test was done on 2/21, so I'm assuming that it's a rocketbar issue?
I assume this is an E.me icon issue that was briefly discussed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=971268#c14. E.me icons arrive as square jpeg images from the API (for responses to be as light as possible) and the Rocketbar makes them round with css. The browser gets the original square icon and sets it as the homescreen icon - that's the reason for the bug. IMO the best approach would be to round E.me icons (using canvas), the moment they're retrieved from the API. That way, all other Gaia components can stay oblivious to the square original. Kevin, any objections?

We don't enforce this with app developers - and I don't think it would be a good idea to do this. App developers should have the freedom to maintain their branding consistency across platforms.

I really like the current simplicity of the current rounding solution in the search app. I would personally recommend trying to carry this over to the homescreen app as well.

I understand. That would mean that both the Homescreen and Search app are required to recognize an E.me result. This is something we've always aspired to diminish. IMO both apps should remain agnostic. Anywho, this is just my opinion. Any course of action is fine by me.
Was fixed in bug 1022337 for vertical homescreen. As Jason noted in comment 8, this happened with horizontal homescreen and rocketbar encable which is not a supported setup.
