Whenever I setup an app to install and put on the dock the items on the dock ends up a question mark and not the icon. Is there a way to do it so the actual app shows up on the dock. It has happened with Firefox and Chrome

I would go for dockutil as well. A command run at login for Firefox would be something like:

su $3 -c "/path/to/dockutil --add /Applications/Firefox.app/"

Is the path to the Application correct?
The format is generally: file:///Applications/App_Name.app/
(If there is a space in the name of the application then there should be a '%20' in place of the space.

In my experience the question mark only appears when the path to the App is incorrect.

Kyle Crawford sits a couple cubicles over, lemme know if you want me to shoot a spitball at him to get his attention. :) All jokes aside, Github is the best place to get responses.
