[Affected versions]:
- Firefox 57 RC
- Firefox 58 
- Firefox 59.0a1 

[Affected platforms]:
- Windows 7 x64
- Windows 10 x64

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Stub Installer (with DPI 150% and 175%/200%)
2. Observe the Title and the Taskbar icons while the installer is running.

[Expected result]:
- The Title and the Taskbar icons look good. 

[Actual result]:
- The Title and the Taskbar icons are a bit low dpi on 150% and 175%. Please see "issues.zip". 

[Regression range]:
- TBD
I forgot to mention that I've tested with "Use small icons" option checked and also unchecked (please see the difference in the screenshots from attachment).
This is so subtle I'm honestly not sure whether or not it's a problem, and if it is I'm not sure we can reasonably do anything about it; it's possible to manually override the application icon at runtime, but I don't think that would change anything.

I'm curious though, does the icon for Firefox/Nightly itself look the same? Or is it just the installer?

Also, and this is a shot in the dark, but are the graphics card drivers up to date on the machines which are seeing this issue? Some kind of weirdness there is all I can think of that might cause something like this.

I've tested on Windows 10 x64 using Firefox 57 and latest Nightly 59.0a1 to see how the icon for Firefox/Nightly is displayed on TaskBar. Please see in the "new.zip" attachment the difference between the icon for Firefox/Nightly and the stub installer icon. I consider that the stub installer icon is a bit low dpi compared to icon for Firefox/Nightly. 

I'm now working on updating the graphics card drivers and I will come back with the results.

Sorry, but I think I have to close this bug. Those pairs of icons are identical. There's one pixel in the top right of the Nightly icon that looks brighter in the installer, and that pixel is kind of standing out since its right off the edge of the image, but I think the only reason it looks different is because of the highlight the taskbar is putting behind that icon because the installer is running and focused. I can't see any other differences.
