• When I click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar it opens automatically to Google site

  Firefox was installed in my computer by a friend of semi-pro and the icon is on the taskbar. When I click the icon to open Firefox, it goes straight to the Google site automatically. Why does that happen? And how can I change the settings so that it opens Firefox?

  Have you tried the words: homepage Homepage if you prefer a page with a search bar?

  You can use the search bar in the Navigation toolbar to do research if you don't have one open (home) page of the topic: homepage which has its own search bar.

• Icons in the taskbar Windows 7 (notifications) does not not at the start. [SOLVED]

  Question: It started a few days ago, I'm not sure what has changed (no updates to anything und do not clean my comp so far here). When starting, but not load my system tray icons/notice. There is a select statement 3 charge that are supposed to, but there should be more (like volume, wifi, (I have disabled power), etc.) There is 1 which is not supposed to because it is hidden completely.

  3 loading (assumed):

  ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

  ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

  ~ Avast icon

  1 who is responsible (not not supposed to):

  ~ Synaptics Pointing Device (touchpad for laptop, I have the touchpad disabled permanently, so I completely hidden icon (no notifications).

  Icons that are supposed to load:

  Shown (visible in the status bar)

  ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

  ~ Connection/Wifi signal strength

  ~ Volume

  Hidden, but display notifications (accessed via popup "Show hidden icons" arrow)

  ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

  ~ Avast icon

  ~ Action Center (flag)

  (I think there's one more, but I don't remember.) It could have been 'Power', which I think, but it is completely hidden, as in the system icon is disabled)

  What is already:

  ~Notifications/what watch is already very well tuned for my taste. I just got set to "Show icon and notifications", stuff the value "notifications only." (Ergo, it resides in my region 'Show hidden icons' through arrow, but is not visible otherwise.) Und stuff put not show at all.)

  ~ Windows is up to date.

  ~ Drivers are all up to date.

  ~ System is cleaned (Spyware, Malware, Antivirus, General Computer Care) a few times a week, has been cleaned out of turn, in order to help solve.

  ~ Regardless of the icon is not displayed, programs, still work properly.

  What has been tried:

  ~ To reboot first, simple. Nothing.

  ~ Searched online, find the regedit, removed IconStreams und PastIconStream in the registry, kill explorer.exe, run explorer.exe. Voila, my icons were back. Except for some I had to modify the settings on back to what I wanted. That was supposed to be the end of it. ... It wasn't. Model began the next day, icons were not loading right. The same 3 icons has charge. Tried the regedit with a reboot... Nothing helps.

  ~ I tried Regedit und journal/off voltage. Zip, they go back to does not properly.

  So, I wonder why the regedit isn't sticking. Personally, I don't find yet, everything which would be somehow in conflict with this, especially since the wifi turns on automatically does not show in the taskbar, or volume. Everything seems to work fine, so I don't understand why some of them are not loading. The only way I know to make the back is with regedit. But in doing so each time I start my computer is pretty boring.

  Search for a solution: What can I do to remedy this? Everything I looked at gives me "update drivers, windows update, virus/malware research, make regedit (mentioned above), log off / on, restart" that have been tried.

  Thanks in advance.

  UPDATE *.

  Alrighty, I tried to start in safe mode, a boot minimum then tried und tool File Checker system, nothing that was of any help either.

  So, as a last ditch effort... I did a startup und repair selected a Restore Point.

  Solution: My icons in system tray restored to a previous state until I started having problems, are evidence of as it should.

  UPDATE *.

  Obviously, I have solved my problem, but I have to mark an answer for them to consider that it solved und I can not put my own answer to select. So I chose the one who has not fixed it, but would probably be someone elses.

• 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?

  Moderator sets the broken URL

  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.

• 10.0 Firefox now creates a new icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 whn launched. Why?

  With earlier versions of Firefox on Windows 7, I got 1 icon on the task bar and I would stay at this icon to go to the program. Now, at the launch of Firefox, that it creates an icon on the taskbar and it is confusing, because I'm used to return to the original icon, except that now it opens a new session of Firefox that I don't want. How to return to 1 icon?

  After clicking on the favorite taskbar icon and firefox opens a "new Session".
  DETACH the old icon and the PIN, then the "New Session" icon.

  Then from this point on 1 single icon will appear in the taskbar.

• Can you reduce the icons to the taskbar in Windows 7?

  I install my programs preferred on a new computer, put it on the taskbar, and it's fill to the top.

  I want to make each smaller icon/tile - that is to say, each a little more thin.  In terms of width, it seems that the icon itself occupies about half the space.  I would like to get rid of some of the lost space.

  I already use small icons.

  You can use smaller icons. The taskbar right click and choose Properties. Put a check mark in the box next to small icons.
