How do I see the Tabs in Windows 8 Taskbar?

I'm now on Windows 8. I have 5 tabs open on Firefox, but unlike Windows 7, and IE10 in Win8, the tabs don't all show in the Win 8 Taskbar. You normally get a 'layered' look on the icon, and when you hover over it, it would normally bring up all tabs so you can close the ones you want or go straight to the one you want.

How do I get that back?

Hello,

Please see this support article:

Tab preferences and settings

You must ensure that the 'Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar' option is ticked.

I hope that helps.
