After posting my answer, I did the following:

- after reboot, my launcher screen was completely changed, the order of the applications was not the same as before, and the quick launch icons were not there. But something was solved: after I reflashed the device a couple of days ago, I got some of the basic icons twice. Some of them disappeared finally to be displayed only once (like message), but some others remained twice (like maps). And this has been fixed.
- then i reset the rights (chmod u+rw) and I rebooted,

and now everthing seems fine. Quicklaunch icons are back (BTW, these are the ones I selected with Shortcuts without success), and I've only one icon for each basic app.

No idea why removing read rights on the .data file finally fixes the issue, but at least now it's ok.

I suggest the app Mymoves as an immediately available, and in my view, very high quality substitute. I have assigned a gesture for each of my quick launch apps, and voila, anywhere at all on the device, whether in an app, homescreen, feed, or multitasker, the app activates.

That said, I like the quick launch feature a lot and would like to see it repaired and improved. Heck, how about a different Mymoves gesture to scroll through different quick app configurations? Just kidding, let's just stick to what we're best at--the swipe.

So I uninstalled, reinstalled and rebooted but no success. Then I decided to move one of the double Firefox icons to the Shortcut App (or quick lunch) Bar where the previous Nightly Firefox was (to the far right) and solved the double firefox icon issue. So now I've notice a bug with the shortcut app when you put in a icon wherever the blank shortcut icon is you get a blank or just a missing icon.The same is true even after you uninstall it. My blank/missing icon is missing in the same place as the "Nightly Firefox" version (to the far left) after uninstalling shortcut app. I'm a noob with few apps form the store by the way. Any help would be much appriciated.Thanks for time...

Look for a lines like this
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=quicklaunchbar/0
there should be four with the numbers being 0,1,2 and 3, one for each shortcut.
When i had the issue one of the lines looked.like this
home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=launcher/0/45
so i just corrected it.

edit
just noticed zlatko's earlier post which describes this a lot better.
