Why does is the Firefox taskbar icon read "Mozilla Firefox (2)" when I slide the mouse over it?
This occurs when the application is closed.

If the above is the problem, follow these instructions;
Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems {web link} Save the file. Then;
Using your file browser, open the Programs folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86) Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding .old to them.
Now run the full installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.

What is probably happening is that you have two copys of Firefox installed on your computer. This would be why it needs to put a (2) on the end of it. Otherwise you may have had firefox, maybe downloaded another one and deleted the old one, for example if the old one wasn't updating, and you needed to install a new copy. This problem won't affect your use, if the name bothers you, you can find it on your hard drive and change it, but its not that big of a deal.
Have a great day!!
