Firefox icons on Windows11 taskbar
I have a Firefox icon on my Windows11 desktop, Start, and one on the taskbar. If I click one either the Firefox icon on the desktop or Start I will get another icon on the task bar and I can do this over and over on my personal desktop getting many Firefox icons.
I just purchased a new Dell Windows11 desktop and have installed Firefox. I set it up just like my personal desktop and have icons on the desktop, Start, and taskbar but every time I click the Firefox desktop or Start icon I don't get a separate icon in the taskbar but they pile up behind the original Firefox on the taskbar. If the cursor hovers over the Firefox icon then I can see the multiple Firefox homepages that I generated.
I have searched for an answer to this problem but have been unsuccessful. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue. Firefox has been my one and only browser for many years and I love it 99% of the time, just not this one time. :-) Thank you in advance. Chuck Hall

That's a Win setting. Press WinKey-i for Settings, then go to Personalization > Taskbar. The Task View option is what you want to enable or disable.
Thank you for your reply. I uploaded a pic of the Taskbar page you mentioned and none of these options on this page help.
I think it's the "Combine taskbar buttons and hide labels" setting. You could test whether setting that to Never works the way you prefer.

I may have first said Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors and edited it, not sure. At any rate, it's at Personalization > Taskbar near the top.

You have to do what I mentioned last: Task view on. Then do what jscherr200 said except set it to Always, not Never.
