Understand the problem is your Windows 7 icons are messed up at least for MS Office, view is from selecting "All programs" from the Windows Start. It seems a bit far-fetched that Firefox would have changed icons on other applications, and to have dropped all of them in Office at once. If I understand correctly the Office applications all work and show up separately on the Windows Task Bar, but they have a generic application icon. Does it affect more than Office. Does this loss of the correct icon affect programs directly on the Start Menu and/or desk top and/or the Quick Launch.

It's been 4 days since you first posted. If you haven't rebooted your system since you had the problem, would you try that.

Looks like a solution here:

If the problem recurs:

Icons randomly change to different icons:

Separate problem, looks to me like you are pinning tasks to Windows Task Bar, because Windows 7 hid the Quick Launch. You can still use Quick Launch and have folders within it.

See item #12 in my page on Windows 7 Home Premium within (#steps)

If you don't like the order applications open up on the Windows Task Bar you can drag to rearrange the order. Items within the Quick Launch can be sorted via context menu.

What version did you upgrade from?

You can use "Ctrl+/" to toogle the add-on bar on/off.

see item #10 in the following:

You can make Firefox 8.0 look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

I've got no idea I'm afraid, but I do keep firefox updated so it must have been from whatever the previous version was.

That's okay, probably wouldn't have made any difference to my answer as I try to cover several possibilities. The last version one was 7.0.1

But I notice misspelled words that probably just skipped over thinking it was about the Firefox status bar which is now the Add-ons Bar.

It appears the question is really about the change from the dog-eared white sheet to dotted outline for unknown file types, which besides being confusing in itself may also be caused by an extension.

Hello again,

Thanks for your input but maybe I didn't explain the problem clear enough.

After upgrading firefox, some of my Windows 7 Taskbar icons have lost their icon associations (please see attached file).

This was definitely Firefox that caused this as when the upgraded version loaded, my icons refreshed and 3 did not re-appear correctly. Icons in the programs list are also affected.

Thanks

Steve
