Lost taskbar icon

Unread post by MisterFish » 2012-01-11, 17:33

For whatever reason, my taskbar icon has gone missing. I have tried to re-create a new one by right-clicking the shortcut in my start menu and selecting "pin to taskbar", which it does, but when I click the new icon another Palemoon icon appears next to it and is "active". The new shortcut I have created is just that - a shortcut; it doesn't act like other icons on my taskbar do. Any ideas on how to recreate a proper taskbar icon?

The shortcut in your start menu is a shortcut, not the actual program.
So it is correct that it doesn't make it an app icon, since it's the shortcut you pin.

You should unpin the shortcut icon, then run Pale Moon (e.g. start it from your start menu), and then pin the taskbar item of the active, running browser instead by right-clicking it.
