I have Firefox pinned to the Task bar in Windows 7. After upgrading to Firefox 9 when I open firefox I get an extra firefox icon in my task bar while having firefox open. It used to show as being open on the icon that is pinned to the task bar.

The simplest solution:

1) right click any pinned fx icon on the taskbar and select "unpin this program from the taskbar"

2) open firefox

3) right click the running taskbar icon and select "pin this program to the taskbar"
