When I click on the pinned Firefox icon it only opens and closes one window rather than opening a new window.

It used to be that every time I clicked on the pinned Firefox logo in the taskbar a new window would open. Now when I click the pinned logo it only opens and closes one window.

hello, this seems to me like intended behaviour - all other open programs behave the same way, a click on the pinned icon minimizes them, another one brings them back to the foreground. you can open a new window by right-clicking on the firefox icon & selecting that option. the keyboard shortcut for it would be ctrl+n, or you can also add a "open new window" button onto the firefox user interface.
