When I am in 1 window, I have multiple tabs open, but when I hover over the Firefox logo in my taskbar, the tabs appear in different windows that have each tab but not the other tabs from the window I am on. Like every individual tab has its own window. This has never happened to me before, only started happening today.

Hi Grim, could you check the following setting, or I guess I mean un-check the following setting if it's checked.

On the Settings page, in the Tabs section, make sure that "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" is NOT checked.

Thank you, that fixed it immediately.
