Running WIn 10 Oct update. Firefox 49. For unrelated reasons I had to uninstall and re-install Firefox. Now neither Mozilla nor Firefox show in the Windows App list so I can not right click to pin to taskbar. I have also tried to Rt click on the program icon (not the shortcut) but only "Pin" option is to pin to Start

Please do the following:

  1. Open the Windows run dialog (Windows key + R)
  2. Enter firefox.exe
  3. When Firefox opens, right click the task bar icon for Firefox
  4. The pin option should display then
