Ive only just noticed something and i find it very irritating and hoping someone knows how to fix it. If i have 6 tabs open in firefox it shows the icon on the taskbar stacked all behind each other. The previous version i could have as many tabs open and it would only show one icon. It works perfectly fine on my windows 7 machine with version 36

Or maybe you meant this: Firefox can either show every single tab in every window, or only one icon per window. That setting is on the bottom of the Tabs panel in the Options dialog:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs

Uncheck the box for "Show tab previews in the Windows Taskbar" to only shows individual windows

I'm not sure whether my Windows 7 is more like your Windows 7 or your Windows 8.1. Could you look at the attached screen shot and see whether that is what you want or what you don't want?

Hi Jscher, The screenshot is what i do not want, i want it that it appears as 1 icon rather than stacked behind. Ive tried the windows cofiguration on stacking but it doesnt help

Your second comment resolved the issue! Thanks it was driving me crazy
