Duplication of Firefox icons on the Windows 7 taskbar

Citing the Forum Windows 7: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/256708-duplicating-icons-taskbar.html

Hello

I searched high and low for a way to do this, but I can't seem to find anything. First of all, I don't want to install or download any program whatsoever. I want to do with what I have, aka Windows 7.

Let's say I have 2 or more profiles Firefox. I want to open them in separate windows. This is done easily with - no.-remote, correct? Well, if I want to open them in two different icons on the taskbar?

Currently, I open both profiles, but they will be grouped in the Firefox icon. I don't want them be grouped. I could customize my taskbar and choose something other than "always combine, skin tags. Unfortunately, I don't want labels. And I want every other icon to combine. It's only the different profiles in Firefox I want to separate.

Is this possible?

You can try to do a copy renamed only the firefox.exe file in the current Firefox program folder to see if it works.

If this does not work, you can try to copy the whole Firefox program folder to another folder (Mozilla Firefox2) to see if that works (may as well fail because the firefox2.exe program will still report as the same application in the Windows OS) and firefox.exe program is only a draft that checks if other Firefox programs are already running without a - no.-remote switch and load the real application if necessary.

  • Firefox icons in the taskbar Windows 7

    I have a FF icon in the Windows 7 taskbar. When I click on it, a second icon appears when the homepage is open. Following clicks on the first icon opens the tabs that appear in the second icon. Also if I open a new tab (using the '+' or via a bookmark). The first icon does not show the preview of open tabs - second icon again.
    It didn't happen in FF9

  • Problem opening 26.0 Firefox from the Windows 7 taskbar.

    I have Firefox pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7 on the bottom of my screen. I use a desktop PC. Most of the time, when I click the icon it opens Firefox without any problems. However, occasionally, when first, I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, it gets highlighted but does not appear the little circle and the highlight fades without opening the browser. When that happens, I can not yet turned off my computer without pressing the button on the tower. This happens only the first time that I open the browser in the morning, and it seems to happen every two weeks. Any thoughts on what is happening? I just had a virus removal made, so that shouldn't be the problem.


  • Why doesn't Firefox support the Windows 7 taskbar properly.

    Firefox does not work in static form of the Windows 7 taskbar button. When you close the main window of Firefox, the downloads window stays open. Because it is a Firefox window still open, you cannot start an another main Firefox window without first close the downloads window. It is against the expectations of the design of the Windows 7 task bar.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == I installed Firefox on Windows 7

    Double clicking on the icon of Firefox on the desktop (or by using the start menu) will allow another "main" window of Firefox to open - even if the download window is still open.

    This problem is fixed in the latest alpha of Firefox versions, so that the 'hand' last window is closed leave the application - even if windows as downloads are still active. (This will be fixed in Firefox 4.0, because updates minor Firefox only to solve problems of stability and security and not to introduce new behaviors)

  • Trying to install Firefox 4.0, when I move the Firefox icon to the Application icon (in the dmg file) I get message that there is a newer version, but the version he is 3.6. What is going on?

    I have Mac OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.16. I am trying to install Firefox 4.0. I downloaded the dmg file, opened it, and flies over the Firefox icon to the Application icon. The result was a message saying:
    "A new already called"Firefox"exists at this location. You want to replace it with the older one you are moving? »
    I checked the Firefox already in my Applications folder and it is without a doubt 3.6.16, I hesitate to go ahead with the replacement until I know why I get this (apparently) wrong message. Can you help me?

    Yes, Firefox 4.0 is a more advanced than 3.6.16 version.

    Mozilla made the updates of security for older versions of long after a new version of Firefox is available. 3.5.18 Firefox came out at the same time that 3.6.16, and both are scheduled for another update daily now.

  • How permanently kill (no) auto arrange icons in the windows Explorer 7

    I can't drag and drop icons in the windows Explorer window 7, I can't disable snap to grid, I can not disable the grouping, I can't disable sorting, please any help, hack recording, scripts, tweaks, codes, orders, alternative programs.

    My thought is: If icons can be freely arranged at the office, so the ability to turn the auto organize into folders exist in the system, I'm looking for a way to re - activate.

    Dxcorp,

  • The Adobe reader print window menu, the button print is covered by the Windows 7 taskbar

    The Adobe reader print window menu, the button print is covered by the Windows 7 taskbar.  I can still print on my laptop by pressing on enter, but I can't resize the print windows to narrow down, or click on the "print" button from my bar tasks it covers.

    In the middle of the three buttons at the top right. Make sure the middle one shows one box. Then you can drag the window down and in and grabbing the banner at the top to raise it above the taskbar.
     
    Make sure that there are no other open windows including minimized in the taskbar, and then close Adobe Reader. Windows will remember the size as long as it is the last window closed.

  • Firefox icon in the dock does not appear

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I was running Firefox Beta, and I decided to update to v18b2 today. It was a mistake. Firefox is still ongoing (and seems to do very well), but the dock has no icon of Firefox. I also tried to open every night (which has its own profile, I do not use my regular profile for every night), but the same problem occurred. I went down to v17 version and the same problem occurred. Without the icon in the dock I can not easily switch to another app Firefox. Firefox does not even appear when cmd-tab between apps! It still appears in the activity monitor, but it's really annoying and changing the app or the profile does not work. Fortunately, the windows appear to expose, but it is really harmful for my workflow.

    A picture of my problem: http://i.imgur.com/tHsNF.png notice the absence of Firefox on the dock.

    Too bad, it's a problem with all apps since the update. Since this is not a problem in Firefox, this can be closed.

  • Lately everytime I open firefox I get the window «do you want this program to make changes to your computer...» »

    Hello

    I would be so grateful to know how to fix t his, because it's really getting on my nerves.
    
    I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I mostly always use firefox. Whenever i opened a  new browser, I never got hit with the windows badge and "Do you want this program to make changes to your computer...." or something to that effect. YOu who have windows 7 know what I mean. Of course I click yes, but I NEVER had to do this before. I don't know what changed, what might have happened. I had to have help with some software unrelated to firefox and someone had remote work on my notebook, but he should not have changed browser settings. It is really irritating me to now end to always open the browser now and have to hear that annoying thing and the badge.
    

    My other browsers IE and chrome do not do this.

    How can I fix this? It was never the case before for years.
    

    Thank you thank you very much in advance. I can't use this browser if that's going to happen, he finds himself on my nerves.

    A possible cause of this message, it is that Firefox is configured to run as administrator.

    Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
    Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

    Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.
    If you cannot make changes, and then start Windows Explorer as an administrator.

  • Addon shows the name but no icon in the window customize

    I recently developed an add-on. However, once installed the icon does not show, but only the name of the addon in the window customize bar addon (or menu Australis).
    I have not seen this behavior in other addons, so I think it's probably something that I did wrong.
    Maybe I don't get the right size icon?

    You can try to ask the advice of the forum of the modules or the forum MozillaZine extensions development.

  • change the firefox icon in the address bar

    I try to customize firefox to look like IE, don't ask why, believe me, I don't want. Anyway, I downloaded FoxE9, that customizes a bit look like ie9, which I think it's the closest I'm going to Firefox.

    Only problem Im crossing is the firefox icon that is in the address bar on the left side, I think its called a favicon?

    Is it possible to change or remove? It is also the portable version of firefox 26.

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/foxe9/

    Not much in the way of images of example here.

    If it has nothing to do the Web site you are viewing, then this isn't a favicon. Please provide a screenshot of what you are referring.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem

    It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

  • Add icon on the desktop of the Windows 7 taskbar

    I just finished installing Windows 7 upgrade from Vista 32 bit.  On Vista, I had an icon in my taskbar to take me directly to the desktop.  I have not found a way to get this icon on Windows 7.  I don't want to have to do a right click on an open space in the taskbar and then click Show Desktop.  Previously, it was easy to copy pictures to my desktop simply by dragging them on the desktop icon in the taskbar.  I would like to be able to do it again.  Thank you
