Might be a Windows 8 quirk that won't be fixed in Firefox until September.

That way, when I start it from the pinned icon, it sets itself as default correctly, instead of asking over and over if I do a hard/symlink to the "firefox.exe" file. -- otherwise It would just tell me that the shortcut to the file did not exist and delete the pin. (So yes, I did a fair amount of troubleshooting for this silly issue)
Because of the firefox -> waterfox name change I ran into similar issues like:
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=329555
as well as that previous XULRunner error someone else posted a while back when I did an upgrade instead of uninstalling the app and deleting the entire folder.

There's something that's seriously annoying me related to this...

tmp-wfannoying.jpg 210k .jpg file

From LEFT to RIGHT

shortcut1 = waterfox start menu created by installer.. notice "Launch Waterfox"
before PROCEEDING further, take a look at the taskbar, notice that there are two pinned waterfox shortcuts. the first is shortcut2 and the second is shortcut3. because clicking shortcut2 for some reason creates a new taskbar icon, i went ahead to pin the newly created one to figure out whats going on. so shortcut3 is the manually newly pinned shortcut.
shortcut2 = my vbs script that pinned waterfox... notice "Launch Waterfox" (HAS ALWAYS BEEN WORKING PRIOR TO v14)
shortcut3 = pinned shortcut from the additional icon created by shortcut2. notice.... no more "launch waterfox"
shortcut4 = ms words well, just testing... was looking for a pattern
shortcut5= %appdata%\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch

So, can someone tell me where the fault is? I need this scripted properly. I setup everything using a script .... right now, i need to manually click on all these.........

MrAlex can we see a quick fix for these issues please...

MrAlex would you consider reverting back to firefox.exe filename rather than use waterfox.exe? I do not see what performance gains whatsoever doing this... it has created multiple issues so far already.

This is all I did:

Installed Waterfox.
Ran it from icon on desktop.
Right-clicked the Waterfox in the taskbar and pinned it.
Deleted icon on desktop.

No issues past that. One Waterfox icon in taskbar at all times.

1. I need this scripted. Silently, without clicking or touching the mouse.
2. It was working before the filename change
3. If you were to right click on the shortcut created by the waterfox installer and pin that, you'd get the same issue I've been talking about.

This is already well known. It's because EA/DICE didn't release a browser plugin for 64-bit browsers.

Same for Adobe Reader, and Adobe Shockwave. Took a long time for Silverlight to make a 64bit one too.
