Subject: Tabs - Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option doesn't show up for me to select. Why, or was this feature moved or removed?

I'm running FireFox 10 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC. I would like to have the ability to select an open tab from the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option is not showing in the Tools - Options - Tabs window. So, I can't select it. Why? Has this feature been moved or removed?

Did you look here?

  • Tools > Options > Tabs > "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"

You can inspect and modify the related browser.taskbar.previews.* prefs on the about:config page.

The "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" does not appear as an option. in Options - Tabs.

I Toggled the browser.taskbar.previews to True in About:Config, but it made no difference.

So, no go on either solution.

I am running Windows Ultimate 64bit. I don't know if that makes a difference.
