I have a FF icon in the Windows 7 taskbar. When I click on it, a second icon appears with the home page open. Subsequent clicks on the first icon opens tabs which are shown in the second icon. Also if I open a new tab (using the "+" or via a bookmark). The first icon doesn't show the preview of open tabs - second icon again. This didn't happen in FF9

I found this solution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/916677 However, I think that it is strange to have to do this every time I update.

This happened when FF went from version 3.x to version 4.0.
