Windows 10: My Firefox logo disapeared in taskbar

Hi! Today happened something weird. When I open Firefox, it doesn't show the logo, as it was deleted. It happens only with Firefox, and only in the taskbar.

Here is an example of what happens.

I tried to reset the icon cache, but doesnt work. Any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance!

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.

 

Pinning Firefox to Taskbar causes second icon on tasbar to appear

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.

 

Generic icon instead of the Firefox logo icon in the context menu of its pinned to taskbar shortcut

I have FF 49.0.2 x64 in win 10 x64 v1607 build 14393 (i.e. with the Anniversary Update).

When Firefox is running, its icon is displayed on taskbar, as expected (i.e it's not a generic icon).

But, when I rightclick the Firefox shortcut which is pinned to the taskbar,

then, instead of the Firefox logo, a generic icon is displayed next to the "Mozilla Firefox" entry. Screenshot:



AS you may see, the "Frequent" and "Tasks" lists are present,

and all the "Frequent" entries have favicons.

Also, the relevant Firefox shortcut in Windows Start Menu has the FF logo icon, as expected. (screenshots:


and


)

The pinned shortcut itself supposedly gets its icon from "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe". Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/6dM3aN4.jpg

This only happens when rightclicking on the FF pinned icon - all other pinned icons have their relevant icon when rightclicking them, including of Chrome browser:


.

I have tried multiple times unpinning the shortcut from taskbar and then re-pin it,

as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but didn't help.

In the above description I only have Firefox 49.0.2 installed.

If I uninstall Firefox 49 and then install Nightly 52 and launch it,

then -after a while- the Firefox (Nightly) logo icon is displayed in the context menu, as expected.

I believe that the issue might started after I uninstalled Firefox stable and installed Nightly (I had done this quite a few times).
But I have uninstalled Nightly and currently have stable only.

How can I fix this?
