8.1.1 & Taskbar

There is something that has come as part of 8.1.1 that I wonder how many are aware of it or how nice it is. Traditionally or historically we have been accustom to Desktop & Taskbar. Not long ago came the ability to Pin things to Taskbar. Recently, that
came to include the ability to Pin Store APPs, as well. W/ Windows 8 came the Start screen & ALL Applications screen or a Store APP on display, in addition to looking @ the good ole Desktop.
Now, some prefer Desktop, some don't like the Start screen, some do like it. In Win8 it is possible to be on Desktop and do or access everything from
its Taskbar. This leads to the following... that Taskbar which, can be viewed as a 'hub' to all things, is, NOW, available to you all the time... whether you are looking @ Desktop, Start, ALL Applications or have
a Store APP open, the Taskbar is always there for you... not, just & only on Desktop anymore.
I am not sure how many realise this & how useful & handy it is. The value of this increases several fold when the Desktop Toolbar is used & when the Applications (window) is on the Taskbar.
Anyway, merely wanted to bring forth the fact that the Taskbar now is there w/ you & for you, no matter what you have up on your monitor.

Office 2013 - Incorrect Icons In Taskbar When Apps Running

Hi,
I have a a strange issue relating to Office 2013 (all apps in suite) in our school based Windows 7 domain environment.
When students login and run any app from the office suite they launch correctly and are able to be used. However the icon that is displayed in the task bar for say, Word, is not that of Word but is the icon for Database Compare 2013. Powerpoint
as another example always displays the Publisher icon. If you right click the icon the options available also refer to the incorrect app, so instead of an option to bring the Powerpoint app to the forefront it says Publisher.
The incorrect icon is always the same one for each app whenever launched and is the same for all users.
We have updated Windows and the Office to the latest patches. Possibly worth noting that we are running this config on Apple iMacs using bootcamped Windows 7 but I don't personally believe this has any bearing as it's only Office related.I have search
for instances of this issue and see there is a hotfix for incorrect icons when in a remote session rather than physically logged onto a machine. I also see references to deleting the icon cache for the user but local user profiles are scrapped on the
machines here when the student logs off.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Radar.

I've reviewed screenshot from you initial post on Answer forum.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/office-2013-incorrect-icons-in-taskbar-when-apps/ef99ce77-1e88-44c5-8214-c6c69837a9ae
Since the icon shows fine in local but only incorrect through RDP session, I am thinking this might not be the promblem of Office application self. RDP session might not load the correct icon for Office duo to the file permission or wrong path.
Better to post your question to forum for Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services)

I would like to open a Firefox browser with multiple tabs per topic, like work1/work2/hobby and see that given name in the taskbar, instead of the tab-name

I usually open a new browser window per subject, let's say I'm shopping online for something and open about 5 tabs for that, but in the same time I am working on 2 systems which are lookalike, but defenitely should not be mixed average 6 tabs open per subject. Also I read something on my hobby and I open another window and want to read a few tabs on that.
I don't want them to mix and preferably I'd like to see a self-chosen subject for a minimized window in the taskbar.
Is there a feature like this or is it possible to add a feature like this?

Another alternative by the way maybe to use multiple Firefox profiles. I will give more information on that if required. It is fairly easy if you are used to using computers but not something this forum officially supports with KB articles.
The bult in Tabs groups sounds more like what you want. Did you try that ?
As for trying to interest Developers. You could make a comment using ''feedback'' but I would not hold out much hope unless you yourself know a developer willing to undertake the coding and press for its use. Maybe you would be more likely to interest and get something from add-on developers, assuming a similar add-on does not already exist.
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

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: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959865 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).

When I try compose an email, just get compose window icon stuck in windows taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it

Ok, details of installation below, so when I try compose an email, I just get a compose window icon stuck in the windows
taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it. If I restart in safe mode with all addons disabled, then it works fine. But
If I restart normally and manually disable addons/plugins, then close and start normally again i.e not safe mode, it
breaks, so does not seem to be an addon or plugin but rather something with the configuration.

Not getting notifications in the taskbar anymore

Hey,
i just tried a lot of stuff and it still doesn't work so i'll ask here.
Status:
my Skype showed Notifications in the taskbar and played a sound when i got a new message till 3 or 4 days ago.
I didn't change anything in Skype and i'm not aware that i changed anything on my pc since then.
EDIT: Additionally i just found out, i dont have Notification or message counter for new messages besides the contact name/picture in the skype window. I don't hear the sound when skype is the active window and i am in a different conversation and someone messages me. (NO MESSAGE NO SOUND NOTIFICATION ???). Only when im in the conversation already i hear the sound, and thats because i ticked that option in the skype sound menu to test.
My sound settings are on, my skype settings for incoming messages are on. If someone calls me i get the ring sound. In the taskbar theres no orange indicator anymore for new messages.
What I already did:
- installed over my current installation
- did a clean install (deleted appdata folder)
- restarted pc
- unpined and pined the program to the taskbar, tried without pinning it
- ran as administrator and without it
running Windows 7 on newest updates, drivers are updated, rest of the pc runs fine, skype version 6.21.0.104, if you need additional infos tell me
ATM I'm rather clueless where the problem is, it kinda just appeared. It's really annoying if i don't hear nor see when i have new messages.
any help is appreciated
[Removed for privacy]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Given the number of users with notification problems, and always the same remedy "click on user, go to Conversation menu, edit Notification Settings" I was rather thinking of a small Skype gui design flaw here. Why isn't the Notification Settings entry listed in the -context- menu? (right click on user)
Until now I've always been thinking that the top menu bar Notification Settings entry was some -global- setting, for all users at once.
Thx,
Andre

My taskbar crashes when I try to open any documents folder. (Windows Explorer, My Library, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Dropbox folder, Skydrive, every folder!)

Hello. I don't know if this is the right category for my problem but here it goes.
Since yesterday, I've been trying to open Windows Explorer folder (which include Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Downloads, Computer, Dropbox, Skydrive, etc.) and as a result my taskbar and my background crashes, the folder doesn't open and then my taskbar
and bg goes back to normal. I searched the problem in other forums but the responses are from last year and this is happening since 29/03/2014 (yesterday) so I don't know if this is a new thing or old. I called my sister because she has this same laptop and
asked her if this is happening to her also and she said it is so I'm starting to think that W8.1 needs an update. Idk :(. We have a Dell Inspiron 15 and it's brand new ! I ordered mine last month.

Hi,
Did you make any change to your system recently? To fix this problem, firstly, you can try to use
SFC /scannow command to fix it for test.
If problem persists, just try to boot your system into Safe mode to test if this problem occures. If problem occures, It would be better to use system resotre to revert your system to a former timepoint state.
To find the reason about this problem, you can use Process Monitor
to capture Explorer.exe when open folder or library.

I want to have different taskbars in extended monitors

I have two monitors with extended display through windows 8.1 pro.
Pain is that same application is shown in both the taskbars reducing my multitasking space.
I need one app on one taskbar.
Rishi Rajput student Amity University Haryana

It's my understanding that "taskbar spanning" is a feature of the display card driver.
NVidia cards/drivers offer this feature (Mosaic):
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-mosaic-technology.html
I don't know if any other cards/drivers offer the feature.
From memory, the (NVidia) WHQL drivers supplied to MS for distribution via microsoftupdate, don't include the feature, so you should check with your hardware manufacturer.
AMD (ATI) Eyefinity *might* offer a similar feature.
I don't think any Intel IGA drivers offer the feature.
EDIT: maybe this helps?

Which display card/chip is yours?

How can I pin multiple instances of Firefox to the taskbar in Windows 7 with different web addresses

I pinned Yahoo Mail to my taskbar by dragging it down from the desktop. When I try to do that with a second address, it doesn't pin the second address, only a second copy of Yahoo mail.

I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.

Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

IPad 2 Taskbar: Can't close apps when in Landscape

On my iPad 2, I can no longer close apps using the taskbar when in landscape orientation. I can double-click the Home button, press and hold one of the app icons, and they begin jittering like normal. However, pressing the red minus key does nothing. The OS seems to completely ignore the press. I can slide the icons back and forth like normal (when there's more than one screen of icons), and the taskbar closes and opens just like normal. But the red minus key doesn't work. Then, if I flip the iPad to portrait orientation, everything works as it should.
Any idea what's going on? I erased and restored from a backup but still have the issue.
Thanks...

Display icons in dvt:scheduledGantt taskbar

Hi,
Jdev 11.1.1.2.0.
I want to display an icon within the taskbar of scheduledGantt.
My VO has a attribute "icon1" with the value "/css/icons/exception.png".
This attribute is assigned to the "icon1"-property of the gantt (in the Task section).
Thought the icon value "/css/icons/exception.png" is the same as I used in an af:commandbutton on the same jspx I can't manage to display the icon on any taskbar.
The icon in the af:commandbutton is displayed as expected.
In ADF Faces component demo I couldn't find an example where icons are displayed in taskbar.
Any hints what I may have wrong?
regards
Peter

You have to put the icons under the HTML Root Directory, which can be found in the Project Properties (Project Source Path Web Application).

When i open firefox from my desktop, it won't open as a full page,only a tiny page when i mouse over the firefox icon on my taskbar

if I open firefox, it doesn't go to my home page, instead my desktop stays up. if I mouse over the firefox icon on the taskbar a tiny homepage pops up but you can't make it bigger.

This has happened to me many times but on the older FF 3 It could be a small bug, One should list the PC's being used as it could be related? Mine is an E-Machine Mod, W3609 running W7.

Firefox will not display (It will not "open", although it looks like it's open in the taskbar)

I'm not sure if it's coincidence that it updated itself to 37.0, but it must be...
When I click on Firefox both on Taskbar and on Desktop icon, it opens on the task bar, when I highlight the task bar it even shows that Firefox loaded Google (my default webpage)... But it never come up on screen.
I have:
- Windows 8.0 (not 8.1 and I do not intend on upgrading since it functions better than 8.1)
- Noscript add-on/plugin, possibly more
- up-to-date drivers
I have tried:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling newest version (37.0)
- Uninstalling 37.0 and Installing from Firefox website archive 36.0
- Restarted my computer after installs
- disabling maintenance service on install
I have "allow"-ed the install windows popup both times and it doesn't help.
The first time it tries to open it does go to the yellow background on taskbar of opened programs you haven't used yet...
However, when I click on it nothing comes on screen. When I highlight it still shows my homepage there. I cannot do the firefox refresh thing because I can't get it to even display. I do NOT get any error messages on my computer, which is more bizarre. I've updated and ran windows defender complete scan and found nothing (but that's not surprising for "defender", lol).
Once it opens the first time, even opening another page opens nothing. Then it freezes and won't close, even if you right click and try to close all windows... I have to use Task Manager to close it by End task...
I don't know how to open the troubleshooter "xpi" thing, sorry....
And not to whine, but why is it so broken all of a sudden XD... And more importantly, how in the world can I get it back working??? I'm using this terrible chrome I was lucky enough to just have on my computer already, which I only had for viewing one single thing a long time ago and forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate using chrome, it's actually working flawlessly for me right now... So please any help will be much appreciated...

Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
'''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
'''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

Three unwanted programs joined the 30.0 update from a reminder button on taskbar, and do not appear in downloads.

Today, 6/18/2014, on my laptop, running Win8.0, a Firefox icon appeared on the taskbar, saying a new version 30.0 was available. I clicked on it, but missed as it closed. Upon opening the hidden icons, I clicked on the Firefox icon, the words 'update Firefox 30.0' appeared as I clicked on the icon. Then all hell broke loose. Adblock plus didn't stop anything, so the items were believed to be from Mozilla. A box appeared on top, saying "Update Windows 8 Drivers", and was flashing. The download box for Firefox may have been opened, and before allowing an install, several programs and add-ons were offered, but I tried to decline them. I clicked on the driver update, and Advanced System Protection from 'powerbundle.systweak.com, Driver support from secure.driversupport.com and System Speedup from www.systemspeedup.com were all downloaded without asking. They did not appear in the 'Downloads' history. Also, a Microsoft box appeared asking to download to Win Explorer, (like am I nuts?), I use Mozilla on purpose. Closed that box. Next, the Adv. Sys. Protector was analyzing my computer, with a Microsoft logo on the screen. It said I had 167 registry problems. After viewing, I decided to close all open windows. Then, in Programs, I found the three new programs and uninstalled them. When I opened Help About, in Firefox, the new version was just starting to install.
These boxes appeared so fast, and weren't touched by Adblock, at first I thought you might have bundled some features, and add-ons. You should find out who is gaming your installation process and shut them down. Microsoft has been trying to get me to update to win8.1, but I have declined, so I thought the box I was seeing was a recommendation from you to install win8.1 for protective purposes, though that is exactly why I have chosen not to do the upgrade. This question is being sent from the desktop computer that is now since I just checked, starting to update to 30.0. The programs, and Firefox do not appear in the downloads box, so maybe they were entering via Explorer? You don't stick anything else on your updates, so I wasn't expecting this.

Go to Mozilla.org and download the '''full''' installer and save it.
Completely remove Firefox. Run as may of the mal-ware program below
as you can. Install Firefox from the installer you downloaded. After,
check ALL of your add-ons and the programs on your computer. Make
sure you know what they are for. Use a web search if you need to.

When closing Firefox 23 with the taskbar, the dialog wndow is obscured behind it and I can't select close unless I keep clicking and it appears in front. Fix?

Got Firefox 23 forced on me while doing reinstall. First off the icon on desktop and start menu shows a white box around the Firefox icon, this by design?
Also When i click to close Firefox using the taskbar tab it partially hides behind the taskbar and I am unable to click it. Sometimes it appears in front as all the other programs do/should but rarely. V22 didn't have this problem. Is this also a feature or bug and how can I downgrade to the far superior version 22?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
