Window menu sort order

cak

I operate with several to many windows open (and many tabs). Firefox (Mac) used to list the open Windows in the Window menu in the order I originally created/opened each window. A while back, FF started sorting – and re-sorting! – the list of open windows alphabetically according to the Tab that is currently active in each Window. This means that the window appears in different places in the Window menu list according to the name of the Tab. I DO NOT LIKE THAT because the it makes the Window hard to find.

Is there any way to set this to operate the way it used to - keeping the Window list in the order first opened, regardless of which Tab is open?

I created an add-on to address this around the time of that change (Firefox 108-109). I prefixes windows with a number as you open them, and that persists as the active tab changes. As a Windows user, I can't verify that it still works on Mac, so if you try it, please let me know:
