Duplicate Icons On Task Bar

Hi - I'm trying to figure out why, on my desktop, when I open Firefox from the quick launch area it creates a duplicate Firefox icon. On my laptop there will be just one Firefox icon, even when the program is open (the one on the quick launch bar). Any ideas? Thanks.

Solution to annoying problem regarding the two instances of Firefox in the taskbar after updating from several versions ago:

After you click on Firefox in the taskbar and a new instance appears, right-click on the original instance and select unpin from the taskbar, then right-click on the instance still open (the second instance) and pin to taskbar. Close Firefox and click on the icon in the taskbar and smile at the results :) This may be required after updating Firefox each time...dunno.

I deleted the original instance, but don't find an option to pin the current icon to the taskbar when I right-click ... ?
