Chosen solution

Does the open window have two tabs in it? Firefox can either send Windows one thumbnail image per window or one thumbnail image for every tab. To check on that setting, open the Options page:

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

This should open the General panel. Toward the bottom, if the "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" is checked, uncheck that to show only one thumbnail per window.

Was that it?
