Are you able to pin FF in the taskbar if you drag and drop the desktop shortcut inton the taskbar?

If not, renew the Firefox shortcut and try again.

I opened Firefox by going into the Program Files folder, and I pinned Firefox after doing that. I can now right-click on the icon in the taskbar and the menu pops up as normal.

This hasn't happened before, although I guess sometimes things don't always sync up properly after an update with all the different files and registry values and everything.

It may happen after updating the application, I guess the metadata of the shorcut have changed and you need to renew i Win 7.
