With prior versions of Firefox on Win 7 I had 1 Taskbar icon and I would go back to that icon to go to the program. Now when launching Firefox, it spawns a separate icon on the Taskbar and it is confusing, because I am used to going back to the original icon, except now it opens up a new Firefox session that I don't want. How do I go back to 1 icon?

Gekose oplossing

After clicking the Pinned taskbar Icon and firefox opens a "New Session" UNPIN the old Icon, and then Pin the "New Session" icon.

Then from that point on only 1 icon will be displayed in the task bar.

This also fixed it for me! Thank you so much for the help. I had the right click options set up just the way i like with the web sites and stuff on it. And when it spawned a separate icon i was so annoyed, i was so used to it all being in the one icon. Thanks again.
