    So for some reason, everytime i boot up my pc or restart it, the old firefox keeps popping up and saying these weird stuff and sometimes opens up saying "about:memory" and other weird stuff, can someone tell me what this is? its kinda worrying me. And by the way, i dont even have the old firefox, so it was kinda weird that this is popping up.

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Search and taskbar keeps popping up

    Hi Sazmo,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.



    Are you referring to taskbar preview window pop-ups?



    If yes, there is no option to disable the taskbar window pop-ups when you hover the mouse, this is by design.

    However you may Auto-hide taskbar by following the below steps and check if it helps.


    • Right click on the taskbar and select properties.

    • In the Taskbar tab, Place a tick mark for Auto-hide the taskbar.
    You may provide your suggestions in the feedback app.

    It will be directly referred by our developer’s team for further improvement.

    Follow the steps:

    • Go to Start, enter the phrase Windows Feedback, and then select Windows Feedback.
    • See if someone else has given similar feedback by entering the topic, such as Microsoft Music.
    • If you find similar feedback, select it, add any details, and then select Me too.
    • To narrow your search to a specific category, pick the category that most closely matches your feedback (so it gets to the right people quickly). For example, for feedback about the Music app, select Apps > Music.
    • If you don’t find any similar feedback, select New Feedback, and choose a topic from Select a category and then select a subcategory.
    • Enter your feedback (the more details the better!), add a screenshot if you can, and you're done.

    Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.

    Old firefox popping up in my taskbar

    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.
