Firefox Taskbar Icon

So for some reason on my new windows 7 system firefox keeps losing its icon for the taskbar… I've tried reinstalling FF and even actual .exe under the program files is missing the icon too?

What gives?

Hi Scott,

This is not a solution, but may provide a hint or tip for you to explore.

Sorry I don't have a precise "fix" as yet. I'll continue researching

p.s. cool soapbox site
Is that you hollering in the background as the space shuttle lifts off?

Is the icon also disappearing from the Desktop, or just from the TaskBar?

This "fix" addresses restoring icons to the Desktop.

Apparently many users of the most recent version of Firefox have had this problem (3.5.3 had no such problem)

A "fix" and maybe the one that will work for your machine, is posted here:

It involves rebuilding the Windows 7 Icon Cache.

I don't have a box running Windows right now, so I haven't "test driven" the fix.
therefore - Use at your own risk.

but the procedure looks clean and intuitively accurate.

Please let us know if this works for you.

Best Regards
