How can I set different taskbar icons for Firefox profiles in Windows 7?
If somebody is OK with running beta version of FF (or Aurora or Nightly) then installing and using stable with one profile and beta with the other one seems to solve the problem.
- it's possible to pin both profiles to taskbar
- these profiles can have different icons
How to do it:
- Install stable version of FF and beta version in separate folders (you can get beta from here)
- Create second profile using ProfileManager
- Add to the beta shortut target parameter
-no-remote -p yourprofilename - Change the icon simply by rightclicking on the pinned icon, rightclicking
propertiesand the icon menu item
It seems to works flawlessly. If somebody has a way to run two stable versions in this manner I'll gladly accept such an answer.
- Right click on Taskbar launcher for which you want to change the icon.
- Right click on the task list item with the Program name (eg. "Mozilla Firefox")
- Click on Properties.
You can change the launcher icon in this property dialog. You may have to restart explorer or logout/login for the changes to take effect.
