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.
