Why can't I install a Firefox Icon on the TASKBAR?

It would be useful to have a Firefox icon on my Taskbar, but I can't install one.

Firefox 5 can block popups itself. If the popups are ads, you can block them with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not start on the first click, sometimes needing to click 2 or 3 times for it to open (and this is after a fresh reboot with Firefox not running in Task Manager.

Upon a fresh reboot the Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not work on the first click, sometimes it will not work at all and I need to go to Start-> then click the Firefox icon in the Start menu. Why is it that the icon won't start up on the first click?

Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

I have Windows Professional and I used to be able to move the curser over the Firefox icon in the taskbar and it would give me a telescoped view of all open tabs, now it just shows the tab that I'm currently viewing. How do I fix this?

Hey MikeDo,
Do you have the option checked for ''Show Tab Previews in the Windows Taskbar''? If not, just go to ''tools->options->tabs.'' You can find more information on what each of these settings do in the Knowledge Base article [[Options window - Tabs panel]].
Hopefully this helps!

I want to be able to open a new browser window when I click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click and select anything. I have windows 7.

This is a "pinned" icon? Try holding the Shift key when you click it -- that seems to work for me.

I am trying to print with an iR C2550 printer on an office network and have downloaded the most recent driver update (UFR II 10.3.02) but the installer hangs up and has to be forced to quit. A previous version of UFR II installed correctly but does not work anymore.
Looks to me like the latest driver version for this printer is 10.2.1, not 10.3.02...

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.

How do o get my browsing history to show on the mozilla icon in the taskbar?

I'm not even sure if I'm using the correct terminology, but here's the problem. During a session, if I clicked on the Mozilla Firefox icon on the taskbar (bottom left of my screen), it would show all of the pages I'd been looking at, and I could just click on them to go back and forth. I could minimize a page and click on the icon and the page would show there so I could restore it.
Now, only my current page shows up on the icon. How can I restore my history to the icon on the taskbar?
Thank you for your time,
Julie

1. Type about:config and press Enter in the address bar.
2. Type browser.taskbar in the Filter box, and double-click the browser.taskbar.previews.enable to enable the setting. Double-click it again to disable it.
3. Enjoy.

I have two icons on the taskbar

On previous versions of Firefox, in Windows 7 Ultimate, I have it pinned to the taskbar, and I used to open from there and it opened normally and the icon stayed. Now, in the new version (6.0.2) I want to do the same but when I start the Firefox, in the taskbar appears another icon than the usual, so I have two Firefox icons in the taskbar and I don´t want to have two, but I want to keep it pinned to the taskbar.

Launch Firefox using the icon on the taskbar. When it opens and you see the second icon appear, right click on the ORIGINAL one and select 'unpin from the taskbar' - the original icon will disappear. Then right click the second icon and select 'pin to taskbar'.
Close & open Firefox again to verify that this has solved the problem.
Hopefully should be job done!

Every time I update firefox for Win7, the taskbar icon disappears. How can I stop this from happening?

The question pretty much says it all. For the record, no desktop icon is installed either.

Most running programs have an icon on the taskbar, and Firefox is no exception. So in order to pin Firefox to the taskbar manually, first you have to launch Firefox from the Start Menu.
You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder, then right-click ''firefox.exe'' and choose "Pin to taskbar".
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
I don't know why you lose your pinned icon when updating. But I do know that Firefox pins itself to the taskbar when installing, provided you've accepted to make it your default browser. If you get rid of the automatically created shortcut and create one manually, I'm hoping that one won't be affected.

Why "Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder" always pops up?

i follow the steps shown to install firefox on mac. Firefox is working well except every time when i lauch it, "Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder" always pops up? Can you help me solve the problem?
Thank you!

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

You really need to provide a little more information. Why don't you explain a little bit of what you have been experiencing, and maybe someone can offer some advice.
Are you signed into the correct Apple ID? Do the apps start downloading at all? Do you get the "waiting" or "Loading" icons at all?
What are you doing that isn't working?
