Icon in taskbar not behaving the way I want...

[rbico]

On my task bar I have my Firefox icon in the lower left. If I click on it, Firefox opens. Great. With my older XP computer, every time I click on that FF icon in the taskbar, it gives me another FF window. But in Winows7, If I click on the FF icon a gain, it just brings up the current -already open - FF window. There are work-arounds, but I would prefer the icon to always open a new window, not just open up the existing window.
The other icon on the taskbar - windows explorer - seems to have the same issue.

any way to change this?

If it works like IE, right click on the icon. You should get a menu that lets you choose another window.

yes, but that is a work around and more work than just 1-left-click on the icon which is what I want.

Well, I will watch this thread, too. That is the way I have been using IE. If someone comes along with a better method, we will both learn.
