How do I make each tab show up in the taskbar on Linux

more options

The Windows 7 version of Firefox has the option to show each tab as a separate item on the taskbar. I am using Linux now (specifically, Linux Mint, MATE desktop with compiz) and I miss that feature. In compiz, I can press Super+W to show all of my windows at once on the screen. This doesn't help though, because only the active tab exists on the taskbar and in the view of all windows.

If it is not possible to show all tabs as taskbar items, is there a way to set up firefox to not use tabs, and to just make a new window when it would make a tab?

On your main question, I have no idea.

On your second question, you can turn off the diversion of new windows to new tabs in the settings here:

Edit menu > Preferences > Tabs

This does not prevent Firefox from opening tabs on its own (e.g., when you select Tools > Add-ons or Help > Troubleshooting Information), but it should address most cases. If you want to totally get rid of tabs, there is an add-on for that. It is discussed in this thread: How do I completely disable tabs? Personally, though, I think it's probably overkill for most people.
