I'm customizing my desktop based on the one that I saw yesterday at howtogeek. As you can see I am able to change the icon of Firefox, but when I launch it, it opens another one (I now have two Firefox icons on the taskbar). What do I do so that when I click the one that is pinned on the taskbar, it doesn't open up another?

And how do I change the Chrome icon when I launch it? They're both portable.

Create a shortcut to whatever program, and then pin that to the taskbar. The icons of shortcuts are much more amenable to change.

I don't know what's causing the firefox icon to duplicate, so that might still happen.

How to change Firefox Portable icon?

It's not a question but an issue to do it because I need it and I wasn't able to found how to do. Perhaps it would be helpfull for someone else.

To change the Firefox Portable icon, you need a .ICO file, rename it into main-window.ico then put it into the path \FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\chrome\icons\default if they not exist, create all missed folders.

Note that is seems to works only with older versions.
