i use two screens, I use firefox to open in monitor 1 (left), then click "new window" (which also opens in monitor one. I the drag and drop the second window to monitor 2 and maximize it..in the older version of firefox (pre 112.0.1) I could go back to the taskbar on monitor one, hover over the firefox icon and it would show two mini versions of my two open windows. Both windows would remain open, nothing would change. But now when i hover over the icon I still get two mini firefox windows but when i hover my cursor over the left mini window (which shows monitor 1) the main window on monitor 2 closes (minimizes) automatically...and vice versa...how can i fix this??

Just curious about your computer. Desktop or laptop? What model and manufacture? I'm not able to replicate the issue.
