My Firefox icon has changed and I am not sure what mode it is operating in.
My Firefox icon is an icon I have seen before with three red and green dots and a turned upper right page. I was in my program list the other day and hit something in Firefox on accident. Please help me out with understanding what this means. Is my browser in private mode or another setting I did not request? Thank you.

You can change the icon via the right-click context menu > Properties.
You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
- Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
- In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
- Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
- Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
- Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
- After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.
