This is quite a weird problem and it started when I replaced Firefox 3.6 with Firefox 4 (as in uninstall Firefox and install Firefox 4).
Everytime I am browing now Firefox 4 doesn't function properly in the taskbar. I made a screenshot of it which shows the problem much better.
As you can see Chrome and Foobar2000 are function properly and the way I want it, but Firefox 4 doesn't. It show the open browser and the icon to start another Firefox window and that's not how I want it.
Could anyone help me with this small problem?

1. Click on Help, then "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"; if Firefox is okay then, restart normally. Assuming that you have extensions installed, disabled one-half of them, restart, test, repeat until you find the culprit.

2. If (1.) supra does not avail, then use the link infra to create and test a new Firefox profile:
