Pin to taskbar: Icons messed up

judith_21 — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 06:13:07 GMT

I just tried the new "pin to taskbar" feature and I did not like it because the icons were messed up. I tried to pin ChatGPT (icon blurry), Gmail and Google calendar (these two do not get their individual icons which they have within Firefox, but instead they get the same icon being a black globe).

The blurry issue I understand halfway because the icons in the Win 11 taskbar are bigger than the icons in the browser tabs. But shouldn't you do something about it within firefox if the icons look ugly when a user wants to use the new feature (i.e. make them smaller, so they don't look blurry?). But the completely different icon I do not get. Why is it not using the icons which the pages have within Firefox?

There does not seem to be anything I can do about it, so I went back to my pinned tabs.

Since these are very common websites, it should be easy for you to test and reproduce the issue.

Noticed the same, for Spotify just to name an example. Also went back to pinned tabs, I don't really want those blurry icons in my taskbar.

There's also not much discussion about this, which surprises me. Besides your post here, I only found this thread and comment on Reddit.
