Re: how to change taskbar icon?
Right click on the taskbar icon, then right click on "Firefox", then click Properties, then click "Change Icon..."
Do, or do not. There is no try.

It works for me.
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\browser\chrome\icons\default\main-window.ico
I'm using the main-window.ico file in the grayrest icon pack as a test image.

(Just to note, for SeaMonkey the directory location is different, .../SeaMonkey/chrome/... rather then ...[Firefox]/browser/chrome/...)

(Wonder why the OS, 10, should make a difference?)

Re: how to change taskbar icon?
This does not work for me either. This is already a "quantum" era version, so it should work the same. Did they make further changes after this? I'm trying with current dev edition.morat wrote:It works for me.

Re: how to change taskbar icon?
Are you using the \Firefox\ or \Firefox64\ folder?
i.e.
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\browser\chrome\icons\default\main-window.ico
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox64\browser\chrome\icons\default\main-window.ico
i.e.
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\browser\chrome\icons\default\main-window.ico
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox64\browser\chrome\icons\default\main-window.ico

I use the application folder of dev edition, and within .\browser\chrome\icons\default\. (Not using a portable version.)morat wrote:Are you using the \Firefox\ or \Firefox64\ folder?

Re: how to change taskbar icon?
It doesn't work here in Firefox 82.

The app_dir is "AChrom" or "NS_APP_CHROME_DIR" in the source code.
i.e. C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\browser\chrome
The feature doesn't seem to be ripped out.

But fortunately they added a preference override: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.windowIcon needs to be true.
One less problem to deal with.

Re: how to change taskbar icon?
Although it was more useful to have different icons for different profiles, though I guess that's lost now since the addon to do that doesn't install anymore.

Looks like it's solved now so locking due to the age of the original posts.
