How do I STOP the thumbnails from displaying at the bottom of the screen?

When I mouse over the tabs at the bottom of my screen - browser windows, documents, chat windows - a small thumbnail of the screen pops up, and does not go away. If I go to a different window, then come back, it's gone, but is there a way to stop the thumbnails for displaying altogether?

I can already see the tabs at the bottom of the screen, and that is fine with me. The thumbnails ... make them stop!

Do you mean tabs in Firefox or the Windows Taskbar?

Good catch - within the Windows Taskbar. I use Firefox as my only browser, so I assumed that was the issue. My bad. I still want them to go away, though.
