Since re-installing Windows 10 Pro and Firefox, I can no longer maximize Firefox by clicking the taskbar icon. Works for Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox.

Chosen solution

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Left-click on the Firefox taskbar icon should maximize or minimize the browser with each click. It does work with Edge and Chrome, and it's working right now with Firefox and I just figured out why: It doesn't work when Combine taskbar buttons in the Taskbar Settings is set to Always hide labels. Setting it to When taskbar is full makes it work. Since it's no longer a problem, I'll mark it solved. Thanks for your response.
