FF shows two different icons when I click on the default icon which is pinned on the favorites tab. I tried unpinning the default icon and pinning the icon which it shows after opening but there is no option to pin the icon it shows after opening. Click here for pic: https://goo.gl/a7Qr29

Hi, Unpin the one in the Task Bar then go to where Firefox.exe is installed on a Linux and pin that to the bar. Or a shortcut of that.

As to Icon after opening am not following that one and that seems non-do able anyways.
