In Windows 7 Professional, Firefox has suddenly started using more than one symbol in the taskbar... Why?

After you install Firefox it placed a symbol in the toolbar to launch. When you move the mouse over this symbol it would display then also the tabs that were open in the browser. Then, the program was launched and operating within this Firefox ONE symbol on the task bar... it was never (to a point), more of a symbol.

Now suddenly he started to open a second Firefox symbol in the toolbar in which the browser really runs and displays the open tabs. In other words, I now have a Firefox symbol in the taskbar to launch the browser and the other, the second symbol in which the browser is running. I don't want because it takes too much space on the taskbar. How can I return to keep Firefox limited to a single symbol in the taskbar at all times?

The first icon is "pinned" to the Windows 7 taskbar in an earlier version? Could you try unpinning and repinning Firefox and see if that helps?

(I think someone has posted this same question yesterday, but I can't find the thread at the moment).

  • My thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. What should I do?

    For some reason, thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. I tried to archive, but I get a message that says that a script has stopped working. He does the same in thunderbird safe mode. My old computer (XP) works very well. I can't find my profiles on windows 8 to rebuild the database world.

  • Firefox has suddenly start delay when accessing the secure site

    We have an application Java Tomcat 7 on Amazon Web Services EC2 server. The server is configured so that our application is the root application and is accessible from port 80. The application and the Tomcat are configured with SSL, so that whenever someone types in the url of the site (e.g. www.something.net) Tomcat will switch to HTTPS and use port 8443.
    This all works fine, but it seems that if for some reason any Firefox expires when accessing the site, it will never reconnect on the site and any attempt to connect using www.something.net indicates that the connection has expired. Yet if you put in the port number (for example, www.something.net:8443) happens immediately.
    I tried setting compensation in web cache content, defining the limit of cache to zero and by disabling web content offline. None of this has worked. Re-installing Firefox worked.
    We if the question was limited to Firefox, but we did eventually run run in on Chrome too. On Chrome, I was able to get the browser to connect to the site by going to settings > advanced > clear data of the browser and delete the browser history, download, history, cookies and cache of images and files. Once I did the site come immediately with www.something.net and switch to HTTPS as it is supposed to do.
    It took me several months to encounter this problem. But other users have encountered immediately (for example, when configuring a new machine).
    Anyone can shed some light on this? I saw some issues, but none of them had what contributed to my situation. Can anyone suggest a way to remove all that is prevent Firefox to connect?

    Pass port SSL 8443 to 443 has solved the problem. It seems that when the www.something.net url is entered, Firefox remembers that it's an SSL site and automatically add the 's' to get the https. In fact after the timeout, the url in the browser line https:www.something.net. Of course, this is by default the SSL port (443) standard, which does not work if 8443 is used. Join port 443 has solved the problem.

    If you read about Tomcat configuration, the default SSL port is 8443. Maybe this is done for the test, but there never seems to be explained that there could be problems with 8443.

  • my download speed should be 30 Meg a second, but I can't get firefox to save and use more than 2 meg.

    I run a 6 base machine 3.33 with video memory of 2 GB and 6 GB of physical ram with a windows operating system 7. My internet speed is 30 meg but firefox will not record more than 2 meg and response time, and the downloads are slow. Y at - it something I can do to solve this problem. I know I'm getting the correct speed to use other applications. any help would be appreciated.

    Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

  • How can I get Firefox to use more than 12.5% of the capacity of my modem wireless?

    Only if you use Firefox, pages take forever to load. Use of my wireless router in looking, I found that it runs in general (with just Firefox, no other program running on the internet) to 0% or 0.0%, with few spikes up to 5%. Even when you try to view a video.

    When I download something, it could rise to more than 12.5%, for a bit, but I never saw that he hit even 50%.

    When I'm doing something which seems that it takes more ability to my router, Firefox instead takes a bit of my CPU, I'm guessing that there is a lot to ask where are the packets of data or something.

    I have no proxy, or restart Firefox update worked, nor has completely rebooted my computer. I adjusted my network connections down, then back to the top, and all that did was make it so that I can't watch youtube videos, which she usually takes me a few tries to load in a resolution that will not hurt my eyes, and it is with an add-on that makes it so that they are forced to play in HD!

    OK, it's alright with the ISP part - I thought, as had shown activity wireless adapter testing with IE more like what was expected.

    I've also updated the two FF (not something I want to do, as it rarely is compatible with my Add-ons update. My set up is fine, it works, why should I change to something that will not be?), and an update of the computer (which, Yes, I should do it more often. A final which will automatically but has been massive, however and literally broke my copy of FireFox. It was boring!).

    I still feel like it runs too low, but at least the videos loading and read without problem now-well, for the most part.

    They load, kick up an error for a few moments and then screen reload and then play correctly. I guess I can live with that.

  • Firefox has suddenly started to open a new tab when I update an existing tab. How can I prevent this and get Firefox to not do that?

    Without explanation Firefox now opens a new tab when I try to update an existing one. Worse still, I have to click on the new tab to get the Update window. This happened after I downloaded the last download nightly (64-bit). Hope someone out there can let me know how to solve this problem, because it will force me to another browser if I can't solve it.

    Thanks for the suggestions ideato and co - el.

    I found a blog that hits suggested ' subject: config "in the address bar and then change"browser.link.open - external"3-to-1. It worked, but then some links do not open in a new window when they were supposed to. So I changed the value back to 3 and restarted the computer. Everything works now so don't know what the real problem was.

  • Portege A100 has suddenly started to freeze

    My Portege A100 has suddenly started to freeze without valid reason.

    It has also hurt to turn sometimes blue light appears on the disc hard turns, but not much happening and the screen remains empty.
    Sometimes he'll get into windows and I want to use it then suddenly stop responding completely.
    It does this in SafeMode as well ad from a cold start.

    The strange thing is that it seems to be triggered physically sometimes but I couldn't swear to it and maybe it's just a coincidence.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    Description seems you very strange because the question what you described happens sometimes. Eventually it s only a software malfunction?
    How the operating system is running on the laptop?

    What do you think of the resettlement using the recovery CD?
    This relocation and new OS can sometimes solve problems of frizzing.

    But if the portable feed then you should try another suggestion.
    You must remove the power supply and adapter of the laptop. Then wait several times (10-15 min). Put the power supply in the laptop and connect the power adapter.

    Then, launch Notepad.
