I do not want tabs at all, just windows. I have vs 39.0
I want my firefox to work like it used to. I do not want any tabs. The way it works now, is all webpages seem to go into one icon at the bottom. If I try to minimize a window, it doesn't go back to the previous window, it goes to showing my desktop. VERY FRUSTRATING. I want to see all windows I have open , spread out along my taskbar. If there is no fix for this, I'm going to Safari like I've seen suggested elsewhere,. Or another alternative would be to go to an older version of Firefox that still worked normally. Thanks

As a test, could you open two new windows, one regular (Ctrl+n) one private (Ctrl+Shift+p), and describe how the taskbar display changes? Do you get additional graphics next to the Firefox button simulating a "stack" of buttons? That's what I think you normally get.
If the problem is that you want separate buttons rather than a stack, the Windows taskbar has a setting for that. Right-click the Taskbar, click Properties, then change the buttons setting to Never combine. (Screen shot attached)
Firefox also can show each individual tab on the Taskbar, but if you are trying to avoid using tabs, that probably isn't relevant. For future references, it's the setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > General
At the bottom, "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Under Tabs, turn off Open new windows in a new tab instead.
I already had that option unchecked and I still have the tabs. But thanks for trying.
Where are these other tabs coming from? Did you open a link?
Right click and select Open in new window.

to jscher2000: Thank you! Thank you! changing the properties of the taskbar solved my tab problem! I didn't state the problem correctly, because I did not know the technical term of tiling. But you figured out what I meant anyway. You have made my day!!!!
Thanks Sharon
