With the last update, 10.0.1, I can no longer pin my Firefox shortcut to my taskbar. How can I do this....there is no longer any option to do so. TIA

This is what worked for me.

1. Open Windows Explorer 2. Proceed to where Firefox is stored 3. Drag the Firefox icon to your desktop (this will create a desktop shortcut) 4. Drag the Firefox shortcut to your task bar 5. Delete your Firefox desktop shortcut

You should now have a Firefox shortcut pinned to your task bar.

Hmmm, could be related to the following, but I haven't tested myself:

There is a bug in Firefox 21 with the Windows 7 Taskbar "Jump List" not being updated. (Long thread here: Why do visited sites not show in my jump list? (Win 7 Ultimate).)

Judging from the bug system, the fix for that issue will definitely appear in Firefox 24, and there is an effort to move it up to Firefox 22 (beta) and Firefox 23 (aurora).
