User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0 Build ID: 20150812163655 Steps to reproduce: Opened up Firefox from the task bar. Actual results: A new firefox icon appeared next to the one that is active. (Duplicate icon) This is different to the classic bug in Windows 7. Unpinning/Pinning no longer works. Renaming "firefox" folder to "fire fox" rectifies the bug. However, setting default web browser to Firefox and not Microsoft Edge, brings the issue back. It seems like a deliberate bug implemented by Windows 10 to deter switching from Edge. Expected results: Application should open as normal without duplicated task bar icon.
