When I minimize a window, I can't see a diamond next to it in the Window pulldown menu. I can see the diamond next to the page name in the icon menu in the dock, but not in the Window menu itself, which is what I use to select windows. Attached are images of the dock icon menu vs. the Window menu.

Chosen solution

Because I want to know if windows are minimized or not. I minimize windows I don't need right away, and I don't want to have to scan the list of all windows to find what I want, I want to know which windows I still have maximized immediately.


However I'm looking at Firefox on another machine now, and it's not doing it there either, so it's possible this isn't a behavior that's native to Firefox, only Chrome and Safari.

Can you not just click on the item you want to display? Why must it have a diamond?
