Can I merge a streaming audio pop-up window with my main FF window to save space on my taskbar?

I listen to streaming radio while at work. When I start the stream, it always opens a pop-up window for the streaming. So then I have two instances of FF on my taskbar all the time. Is there a way to merge the pop-up window into the main FF window as a tab? I know that I can tell Windows to "group similar taskbar buttons" in Taskbar Properties but I only want to do this with FF, not with other programs.

Well, I found a work-around: after the streaming pop-up window opened, I copied the url from the address bar in it and pasted it into the address bar of a new tab in my main Firefox window. It worked! I have it pinned as an app tab so it loads automatically every time I open FF. The only annoyance is that every time I re-load the page (sometimes necessary to get the stream to start), my entire FF reduces to pop-up window size. That's easily fixed by clicking maximize in the top right corner, so only a minor annoyance.

If anyone has a better solution, would love to hear it.
