Just updated Firefox about 2 weeks ago and have found something kind of irritating. I'm not saying the update messed up Firefox, but for me, one thing i really hope i can change back:

When i minimize, let's say, 2 browsers, each with 20 tabs, how do i get Firefox to minimize JUST the browser in my Windows Desktop? - Right now i get like 30 windows and it's become a bit time consuming to find what I'm looking for if, let's say i had 2 browsers opened up for different purposes/ projects.

If it's impossible to the change this, no biggie. But like i said it's a bit more time consuming now to find what i was working on/ looking for. Having separate browsers, instead of tabs, minimized was ideal.

Thanks.
