display all pages in Task Bar
Currently when I have several pages/Windows open, the Task Bar or the App Bar at the bottom only shows a single Icon. I would like it to spread every page across the Task Bar, so if I have 4 Firefox windows open, it has 4 Firefox tab in the Task Bar.
Hopefully that make sense.
I had a hard drive crash, and the previous version would do this, but the new install doesn't seem to. I'm sure it is just a setting somewhere, but I don't know what or where.

OK that was helpful, though you have all be helpful.
Right Click the Taskbar, select Properties. Select the TASKBAR tab which is the Left tab, then under TASKBAR BUTTONS you will see a drop down box you will have three options.
- Always combine, hide labels - Combine only when TaskBar is Full - Never Combine
I selected - Combine only when TaskBar is full - and that expanded out the tabs in the TaskBar.
This does NOT open a Tab for every page, but only for separate Windows. I will try that for a while and see how it works. I suspect if I select NEVER, all the pages and windows will be spread across the bottom. I'll settle for the middle ground for now.
That is a problem SOLVED.
Thanks to all who replied.

It sounds like this How to Disable Taskbar Button Grouping in Windows page on Lifewire is probably what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.

I completely forgot about that, sorry.
What you are looking for can sort of be achieved, but not fully. With the setting that you just changed, each window will show as a separate item on the taskbar.
While you can't have each tab as a separate item on the taskbar, you can show each tab when you hover over the taskbar item. If you want to show each individual tab, you can check the Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar option in the Firefox preferences.
It's probably not exactly the functionality that you were looking for, but it's probably very close.
Hope this helps, Steve.
Got it. Thanks for the help. NO, that is pretty much exactly what I am looking for.
Though there is one other problem that I will probably just have to live with. When you click on a "button" it doesn't select that "button", it simply toggles through the open "buttons".
Annoying because it doesn't always select the window I selected, it just toggles to the next one regardless of which one I click. But I've yet to find a solution to that, so I just live with it.
