I have tried to unpin the icon from taskbar and pin a new one from Program Files folder but nothing has changed. And when I open Firefox, it looks ok.

My OS is Windows 8.1

Restart explorer.exe perhaps.

The problem was solved by clearing Windows cashe.

To do it on Windows 8.1 go to Start and Search "Free up disk space by deleting unnecessary files". Check all boxes and click OK.

Hi, right click on the shortcut or pinned program, and then click the Change Icon button -- and change it yourself.

Hi, thank you for answer but I can't change pinned shortcut, only an icon what appears after launching browser.
