    Pinning Firefox to Taskbar causes second icon on tasbar to appear

    Hi,

    Apologize for the difficulties that you're experiencing regarding this issue and also for the delay in getting back to you. Do not worry. Let me help you in fixing this issue.

    Did you try reinstalling the Firefox program? If not, I suggest that you do the same and check if it helps.

    Combining the taskbar buttons should fix this issue. Refer to the following steps to do the same:

    • Right click on Taskbar and select
      Properties.
    • Select Always combine, Hide labels
      in Taskbar buttons.
    Hope this helps. Get back to us for further assistance.

    This is not the solution to this particular problem. The same thing is happening with Skype. As you can see I only have one Skype window open, taskbar properties are set to combine buttons, yet there are two Skype icons.

    This was a problem in Windows 7 but it could be solved by unpinning the old icon and pinning the new one. This does not work in Windows 10 so it is likely a different problem.
