Is it just me or does anyone else hate the new Firefox icon in your task bar (15.0.1)?  I miss the fox  :(

Well I felt Firefox was better off with its older versions. Can't understand they released new versions of it rapidly some of which had issues unliked by some people..
I love computer maintenance tasks.
Some of my favorite programs:
Wordpad -basic word processing
                                               Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module
                                               Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player
                                               Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio
                                               CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool

If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

Your image doesn't load for me, it shows a broken image icon instead.

I re-posted the link - this time I used the "image" icon in above options as opposed to the "link" icon.  Perhaps it will work now.

try this unpin and repin Firefox and see if it gets its icon back

Thanks for your advice Super Fast & Nergal.  I was hoping for a real quick fix so I tried what you suggested Nergal and it worked!
YAY, the fox is back  :)

glad that was it:.
Note to Future Readers: this is a windows flaw, sometimes (in my experience it seems to happen rarely) an upgraded pin program will lose or change its icon in the pin shortcut after an upgrade.  If unpin/re-pin doesn't work then try choose properties (if available) and choose change icon it should bounce you right to the correct icon
