Are you posting with the problem computer?
The Firefox icon doesn't show on the taskbar, or you can't 'pin' it?
Separate Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
Flash Player Version: 23.0.0. 205 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2. 202.643

Fixed - Thanks!
How was the taskbar problem fixed?
I rebooted. Had rebooted several times w/no results, last time's a charm!
All's well that ends well...
