For Firefox, this looks like it's the fault of Firefox (or rather the firefox package) itself (I guess someone symlinked an icon again), see http://appstream.ubuntu.com/artful/main/issues/firefox.html
Krita on the other hand should show up, and I can see it. Can you check for that again? Maybe it was just temporarily unavailable.
