I have Firefox pinned to the Task bar in Windows 7. After upgrading to Firefox 9 when I open firefox I get an extra firefox icon in my task bar while having firefox open. It used to show as being open on the icon that is pinned to the task bar.
- Installed Firefox 9
- I am running Windows 7 64-bit
- I have Firefox pinned to the task bar.
- When Firefox opens, there is a new icon that opens up on the task bar. Normally, Firefox would open within the icon that is pinned to the task bar.
- When I close Firefox, the extra icon goes away.
- Firefox is acting like the icon that is pinned to the task bar is not even there.

Before attempting the steps below, I would highly suggest you visit the latest known issues for the current version, specifically FF 9 release notes.
See:
1. Unpin the old firefox icon
2. Go to c:\Program File (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
3. Double click on "firefox.exe" (FF window & icon will appear in supertaskbar)
4. Pin this new icon by right clicking > Pin to Taskbar (Firefox Icon turns into whitebox)
5. Make sure that you see the hidden folders
windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files
6. Go to C:\Users\%yourusername%\AppData\Local
7. Delete "IconCache.db"
8. Open the taskmanager
9. Kill explorer.exe by clicking on End Process
10. In the taskmanager, File -> New Task (Run...) --> write "explorer.exe" without the quotation mark, press ok

The simplest solution:
1) right click any pinned fx icon on the taskbar and select "unpin this program from the taskbar"
2) open firefox
3) right click the running taskbar icon and select "pin this program to the taskbar"
