Customize what Firefox icon appears on Windows 7 taskbar

Windows 7, 64 bit.

On my desktop, I have shortcuts for 3 Firefox accounts. And I customized each shortcut so it has its own, unique icon.

But once I open these 3 Firefox accounts, the 3 icons that appear on the Win7 taskbar are all the same - each 1 of the 3 is the default orange icon _on the taskbar_.

And so, since all 3 look the same there (and they look the same in the pop-up box if I type-hold ALT and type TAB), it is hard to switch directly to the account I want to go to.

Is there a way in Win7 to customize what icon appears in the taskbar for each, separate Firefox account?

I think that this is still valid for desktop icons:

On the Start Menu you can do this too. Right click on one of the pinned Firefox profiles, and select "Properties" In the Shortcut menu click on "Change Icon"

Thanks, but I tried to make clear that that is not my problem.

I am not referring to icons for shortcuts.

I am referring to the image that appears on the taskbar that is a link to an up-and-running program. The image that, if you click on it, it doesn't launch the program. Rather, it switches you to that program.

I attached a graphic to my first post that shows what I'm referring to.

"3 different Firefox accounts ..." The icons look the same to me. Are those 3 separate Profiles for the same Firefox installation - i.e., the same firefox.exe file?

Yes, they are 3 separate "Profiles" for the same Firefox installation. Sorry for the terminology.

And that is why I want different icons/graphics there, so I can easily know which Profile is which and switch right to it.

Now, when I look on the taskbar (or use ATL (hold) + TAB, TAB, TAB), I can't tell which one of those icons/graphics goes with which Profile.
