more than one firefox icon per desktop on taskbar

elwin0275
elwin0275
more options

A. On the taskbar in windows 11 i cannot immediately see that i have for instance 4 windows open. Is there a possibility to see four firefox icons? B. And when i shut down firefox, then via restart, the windows that i've opened seem to return in a random way when i put the arrow on the firefox icon. Can i set firefox to always put my most used window, for instance the window that has the most pinned tabs, at the left side?

For (A), I think Microsoft removed that option in Windows 11 (in Windows 10 and earlier, there was a "Combine taskbar buttons" selector with a "Never" option).

For (B), yes, this is a longstanding problem that windows are restored in a different order, possibly based on last access time or... who knows. There is a bug on file with the developers but it has "standard" priority, not high priority, so I don't think we can expect a fix in the next release.
