    jump list question


    I'm going to speculate that the answer to my question is "no".... buuuut:

    Is there a way to create a custom jump list item for an application WITHOUT resorting to a third-party launcher? (I don't mind a third-party utility to edit the list, but not a third party program that has to act as the "host" item pinned to the start-menu / taskbar.)

    So far, every search result I'm finding doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for, such as the Jumplist Launcher.

    Thanks,

    Not that I'm aware of. There are a few ways you can customize jump lists within Windows, however; this article explains changing the number of recent items in the list, for example.

    JumpLaunch is a third-party app but it's very unobtrusive and has the simple function of turning your Quick Launch folder into an application jump list.

    Hope that helps.

No Jump List with Firefox?
in Browsers & Mail

I've noticed for a while that Firefox has no jump list tasks unlike Internet Explorer whenever I right click on the task icon, I get the past visited links. Is this normal for everyone else and if it's not, how do you turn it on with firefox? Thanks.
