Perhaps this is some artifact of being on Firefox 89.0 but I've noticed that even though Firefox isn't running - even Task Manager has no mention of it - a small icon of Firefox is shown in the main taskbar all the time.

I guess it got pinned. If you right-click that icon, does it have "Unpin from Taskbar" as an option?

Thanks. For some reason I never thought about that - I guess the fact that it was a "miniature" threw me off completely.
