Hello,

What about:config preference is causing the following new instance "firefox" button to appear in the taskbar right click context menu?

reference:

I have all of the following set to false:

browser.taskbar.lists.enabled

browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled

browser.taskbar.lists.maxListItemCount - 0

browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled

browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled

browser.taskbar.previews.enable


Initially the list was completely blank with the exception of "Close window" but I have made several changes and can't figure out what is now causing this....


Thanks in advance.
