Even though I have pinned the latest version of Firefox to the taskbar, when I click the pinned icon, it opens an instance of the app at the far right of the taskbar. It used to simply UNDERLINE the clicked Icon (as you can see happens with other programs). This throws off workflow and just started happening with the latest version.

Please fix it! (as in, put it back the way it was) https://www.dropbox.com/s/o73lo6x3uiwgva9/firefox.png?dl=0

Thanks!

Shockingly, this worked. BUT there is still a problem. If you install the update, then pin the new install to the taskbar, it performs as described above.

Should not have to jump through another hoop for it to work properly.
