Details
This would also affect other platforms which support some form of toolbar to
switch tasks, so I have set OS/Platform to All.
Currently in Navigator 4 I can have many windows open, so many that the buttons
on the taskbar are too small to read (The have been known to get down to just
the ships wheel icon).
My request is that all windows in mozilla are shown by just one button on the
taskbar. Clicking on this will show the most recently used window, and windows
can then be switched using the "Open Windows" or "Tasks" menus. I would suggest
adding a tick option to either both these menus, or the View menu reading
something like "Show all open windows on taskbar".

You mean the Windows taskbar, right? Is this reasonably possible? Do any other
apps do it?
In any case, no time for this sort of thing in current project. reassigning to
nobody, putting on helpwanted radar.

I think this is quite an easy thing to implement. It is already done with the
preferances window. Select Edit > Preferances and a new mozilla window opens,
yet it does not get a place on the taskbar but DOES get a place on Open Windows
menu. All I want is to extend this to all windows.

I don't think this is easy to do, at least not on Windows.
The reason the Prefs works is because it is a modal window.
Top-level windows always have their own icon on the Window's taskbar.

Prefs weren't always modal. And the PSM password prompt isn't modal at the
moment (thats a bug, but still, it proves the point).

>>Top-level windows always have their own icon on the Window's taskbar
Not true. it's part of the style flags for a window - it's easy to simply not
enable a taskbar entry when the window is created (or anytime you have the
hWnd). You do something else instead of WS_NORMAL. I think.
But Windows XP groups taskbar icons from the same app anyway (a feature ripped
straight from BeOS) ...

This has been fixed by the new(ish) Tabbed Browsing features.
(Is RESOLVED FIXED the correct resolution, or should it be Duplicate or WFM?)
