Windows 7: Am I running Waterfox 64bit?

Hi...just installed Waterfox...or so I thought...I pinned the icon to my task bar...but when I click on that icon the older style Firefox icon appears as can be seen in this pic:



So...in the Help section of the browser it says I am running Firefox 13.0.1

Shouldn't it say Waterfox??

Is this normal? Or have I installed it wrong? Should I have uninstalled Firefox first?

Why are the icons different? (The blue icon is the Waterfox pinned icon...the orange icon is the regular Firefox icon. When I click the blue icon to launch Waterfox...the orange Firefox icon is the one that appears next to msn.)

thanks

Hi,

Double-check to see that the icons are pointing to the correct executable. Also when Waterfox/Firefox is open, open TaskManager and see if you can find the Waterfox executable under the processes tab.

Thanks...Task Manager doesn't show any Waterfox

I'll check the executable...but I don't see how it could be faulty...the install asked me if I would like to add an icon to the desktop, which I did...after the install I right clicked that icon and pinned it to the task bar...

Anyway...maybe I will uninstall and reinstall...thanks

Hi,

If you right-click on the icon, select Properties, and then check the 'Target' and 'Start In' items....what do they say?

Target says: "C:\Program Files\Waterfox\firefox.exe"

And Start In says: "C:\Program Files\Waterfox"

One other piece of info....on install I'm asked to click 'Finish'...both times the install has hung at that point after I click Finish...I get 'not responding' and am told that Firefox or Waterfox (I don't recall which it said) is running and to stop it...but before I started the install there was no Firefox web pages open at all...no browser was running.

Task manager does not know that it is waterfox. to it, it is just Firefox 64 bit. Which it actually is.

Close both the apps. Unpin the taskbar icon for firefox and waterfox, run waterfox and pin the icon again, the issue should be solved.

For being sure which version is running, look at the top left corner ... it will tell you the truth.

Thanks Arc but that didn't fix it...I click the blue Waterfox icon and still get the orange Firefox browser...top left corner says Firefox

It's foobared...I just checked Program Files..the install path...but the folders are empty. I can locate a blue exe icon...but it doesn't say Waterfox...it says Firefox...maybe I've dl'd the latest beta and there's bugs or something.

I'll give it the coke and sars for now.

Hmm ... nice In my machine if I open Firefox it opens waterfox As I set it as the default browser.

I hope an uninstallation of Firefox (that one in program files x86) will be enough For a 64 bit system, waterfox is the best, and you dont need the 32 bit version anymore, actually .

Let us know what is the situation after the uninstallation.

Edit : In that case, uninstall the both, and reinstall waterfox only .

You're not saying that I need to set Waterfox as the default browser are you?

And what about the fact that the install had a blue exe icon in Program Files that said Firefox instead of Waterfox?

Also I get this message at the end of install:

Waterfox is already running (no it shouldn't be...I had NOTHING running...NO browser was open at all) Please close Waterfox prior to launching the version you have just installed.

Well...I can't close Waterfox if I never opened it in the first place...so I dunno what's what

Maybe I should completely uninstall Firefox first
