Clicking firefox icon in taskbar opens up another icon
This has been bothering me for a bit now since upgrading to 4.0.1. I have a firefox icon pinned in the taskbar of windows 7 ultimate 64bit. And everytime I click on that icon another firefox icon is opened which then shows 2 different firefox icons on my taskbar. See the pic in the link. [[picture of problem|http://i53.tinypic.com/14kazo4.jpg]]. Is there any way to make it back like before where clicking on the icon just opens a firefox on that icon I clicked and nothing new?

While following that article exactly didn't help, pinning the new thing that spawned helped so thanks.
This is my solution:
Go to C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Unpin old icon, and pin Mozilla Firefox shortcut ( in quick launch folder). You can change icon too if you want.
