Windows taskbar Tor item opens Mozilla Firefox not Tor Browser

A. If Tor Browser is "pinned" to the Windows 7 task bar, clicking Tor icon can open Mozilla Firefox -not Tor Browser as expected.

B. If Tor Browser is not pinned, (ie the icon is in the taskbar because Tor Browser is running) the "TorBrowser" context menu item in the taskbar can open Mozilla Firefox (ie when restoring Tor Browser window was expected).

Obviously a user could easily continue browsing in Firefox believing they were using Tor.

In both A. and B. cases, a Mozilla Firefox window is opened only if Mozilla Firefox is running.

If Mozilla Firefox is not running...

-(Tor running) left clicking taskbar icon restores Tor Browser window as expected.

-(Tor not running, but pinned) left clicking the taskbar icon launches tor.exe status window appears but browser never displays.

-(Tor not running) context menu (displayed on right click on pinned Tor taskbar menu) opens Mozilla window

Launching Tor from "Start Tor Browser.exe" works as expected.

Tor Browser was pinned from taskbar context menu having started Tor with "Start Tor Browser.exe".

Win 7 32bit (tested on two machines).

Tor version 3.6.6. Tor button 1.6.12.1 ESR 24.8.1 Moz-FF 30.0
