That icon is included with FC4, it's called web-browser.png:

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/web-browser.png

It's part of the gnome-icon-theme package. The Epiphany launcher uses
that icon by default, so you should be able to just drag the launcher
from the menu to the panel. Maybe you need to delete the old launcher
and re-add it?

You know there's a "Browse..." button on the top right of the icon
selection box, so that you can specify an image located anywhere for a
launcher?

That sounds strange, perhaps you need to manually update the gtk icon
cache. Run gtk-update-icon-cache as root. But you really shouldn't have
to put the icon there in the first place, the Epiphany launcher in the
main menu already uses the icon you want.
