icon showing download progress but nothing downloading
The pinned firefox icon in windows 7 appears to show the green download progress bar advancing across (very slowly) but there is nothing showing as downloading and I have not instructed anything to download. Is this an auto update within firefox or something more sinister? Running the latest version (20.0.1), in private mode and only accepting cookies from visited sites. Any ideas?

Try to rebuild the Windows 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 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.
Verify in Windows Explorer that you can see the IconCache.db file before doing the above mentioned steps because the IconCache.db file may be a hidden file.
Hi Cor-el, Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I tried what you said and had no success. I also tried changing the display from 32-16 and back but again no luck. In the end I re-installed firefox and everything seems to have returned to normal! Thanks for the advice, I suspect there was something in the icon cache. I think it perhaps picked it up when I used my laptop with a projector last week. Cheers.
