I have two different profiles of Firefox pinned to my Win7 taskbar. I changed the icon on one of them to distinguish between them, but the change is only visible when FF is closed. Once I open the Firefox with the changed icon, it switches back to the default icon, the same as the other pinned profile.

I tried deleting the icon thumbnail database, no change.

How do I make the icon stay changed when opening Firefox?
